First introduced in 1975, E&J VS is
the flagship brand of the company, and America's most preferred
brandy. Popular because it tastes great, mixes well and offers
consistent, award-winning quality.
Distilled and aged to showcase the
elegance of a fine California brandy, E&J VS has flavors of sweet
dried fruit and varietal French Colombard, Folle Blanche, St. Emilion
and early Barbera wine grapes, balanced beautifully with subtle notes
of toasted brown spice and vanilla. E&J VS Brandy is soft and
light-bodied with a crisp, clean finish.
E&J Gallo, use French Colombard,
Grenache and Barbera grapes from California to make a base wine that
is distill and age to create E&J Brandy.
The distilled spirit is aged in French
Limousin oak barrels, where it takes on a beautiful palate of colors
and flavors, until alcohol levels settle to about 40 percent. The
brandymaker, Scott DiSalvo, adds distilled water along the way to
bring the brandy to its proper strength, continually tasting and
testing each lot before blending and bottling at just the right
moment.

A very unusual spirit, chacha is a kind of Georgian grappa, with this 2007 vintage example being double-distilled in Charente stills by Chateau Mukhrani from the pomace of various local grapes alongside more recognisable names such as Sauvignon Blanc and Nero d'Avola. Chateau Mukhrani 2007 is part of the Paulsen Collection, a range collated and endorsed by the intrepid explorer, philanthropist, scientist and geographer Frederik Paulsen, who has unearthed and personally approved this gem.
