Christian Brothers Ruby Port California 750 ML

Rich, harmonious flavor and silky smooth taste. Pleasing aroma of fruit and vanilla followed by a oaky spiced finish.\n \n Producer Information\n Christian Brothers Brandy was founded in California during the early twentieth century by the largest religious community of men devoted entirely to education worldwide. Unlike priests, these laymen dedicated themselves to living and working in a teaching congregation. Founding several schools within the United States, The Christian Brothers worked their way into the Brandy business and into the history books. Founded in Martinez, California, in 1882, the brothers found a vineyard of California grapes which they then used to create their sacramental wine. During the turn of the century, word spread of their excellent quality, and so the Brothers expanded their production to include table wine. Using these profits, they continued endowing schools and were one of the first vintners to identify the prime location of California’s Napa Valley. Fatefully, in 1940, Brother Timothy began working to utilize the grapes to create a new product – the Christian Brothers Brandy. The Christian Brothers tradition lives on, working hard for over 75 years to maintain the proud tradition of using the production method of a copper pot still, essential for fine Cognacs.
