Colin Roe - New Age Wine & Sprits LLC
It started with a vision and ended in a revolution - a VÄDKA revolution.
With a passion for innovation, the desire to create a healthier vodka and
the invention of the world's first and only multi-purpose cap measurement
capabilities, VÄD was born. After thousands of hours in research and
testing, Founder and CEO Will Mentesh and his team have crafted a
triple-line of vodka that is amazingly smooth and entertaining from the
inside and out. Unlike most ultra-premium vodkas, VÄD is proudly produced in
America. The distillery is located in beautiful Sonoma County, California.
