Songcatcher Report post Posted June 18, 2014 holy crap, that's some serious beard representation there.No doubt. I always wondered whatever happened to Yukon Cornelius. Looks like he's alive and well on the Island of Misfit Toys. Congratulations to the bride and groom. :groupwave reversed: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ron Report post Posted June 21, 2014 And holy crap, that's some serious beard representation there. I'm lobbying to make it part of the dress code 'round these parts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Legate Report post Posted July 3, 2014 I am SO EXCITED about this! (Anyone care to guess what this rare herbs is?) We're getting better and better at this whole herb thing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baubel Report post Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) Thanks everyone! Congrats to you both! And holy crap, that's some serious beard representation there. Thanks! I tried but the Mother-In-Law said I needed to be clean shaven for the festivities. Congratulations Joe, on the angelica. I hope you got a phone number after all that effort.

Joe Legate Report post Posted July 28, 2014 Hah! Grand Wormwood harvest is in full swing and it is a beautiful crop. If we had a little more rain, we could easily score a second harvest. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Absomphe Report post Posted July 28, 2014 Absolutely beautiful, Joe. I'm almost tearing up. Probably allergies,. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CurtisG Report post Posted August 14, 2014 We are vacationing this week in Red Lodge.....so close to Kalispell, but yet so far.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Legate Report post Posted August 14, 2014 WTF Curtis! How much longer until we have that drink! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CurtisG Report post Posted August 14, 2014 Well I am really kicking myself in the arse now because I could have ordered some Vilya and maybe a Delaware Phoenix selection from Catskill and had it shipped to our family place here in Montana. Maybe I should get some of the wormwood growing along Rock Creek so I won't go back to Texas empty handed! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JosephLabrecque Report post Posted August 22, 2014 My Vilya verte showed up yesterday from Catskills with the batch number worn/smudged off :o They are out of stock now so must have been their last shipment... good guess as to the range of batch numbers it may be, Mr. Legate?

Joe Legate Report post Posted August 22, 2014 Damn handcrafted booze and cheap sharpies! Can you make out anything on the batch number? 80s? 70s? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JosephLabrecque Report post Posted August 22, 2014 All I have is this... and the fact that it's very good. 58? 87? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Legate Report post Posted August 22, 2014 Holy shit! It doesn't just look smudged but spindled and mutilated, too! I got it, now. PM coming... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joe Legate Report post Posted October 6, 2014 Just for fun (we all need more fun, right?). A dear photographer friend and a local model friend teamed-up to make a Vilya-inspired photo series. The results are great fun and some are quite beautiful. Julie will be posting many of the photos on her Vilya Spirits Facebook page over the next few months.

castelletti Report post Posted December 18, 2014 Just came across a few old bottles of Ridge Verte locally, oh my...so good! Now if I could only find Silvertip here in San Diego I'd be in heaven. This absinthe is currently my favorite Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Legate Report post Posted January 10, 2015 I am delighted more than words can say to announce that Vilya Spirits is expanding! As our workload has increased (much like my age), it has become increasingly obvious that Jules and I need help (the jokes are also obvious). Allow me to introduce our Production Manager, Jazper. Doc Jaz has been with us from the beginning, spending countless hours helping us develop our original formulas for absinthe and gin. He has an eye for excellent quality booze and is a dear and trusted friend. With Doc Jaz keeping tabs on consistency and quality, you can expect more exciting things to come while giving Jules and I a much needed break. I foresee time with my flyrod, grandchildren, herb garden and sharing more delicious beverages with so many of my friends here at WS. What's not to like about that?
