“Soda Sommelier” Danny Ginsburg Opens Showroom for Premium CSDs

“Soda Sommelier” might be a title he made up for himself, but after 40 years in the beverage industry, Real Soda founder Danny Ginsburg has certainly come to earn the moniker for his ability to procure and distribute rare and unique bottled beverages. In the culmination of an idea he has had since starting Real Soda in 1991, Ginsberg recently opened a combination retail outlet and tasting room inside the company’s warehouse in Gardena, Calif. The 3500 square-foot facility features an old-school 50s style tasting room as well as more than 1600 different products that Real Soda distributes.

That is very totally phantasmagorically awesome Danny. I noticed you need Purple Stuff for the teens and adults… I know you carry glass, but Purple Stuff is the sexiest drink to ever grace a can and tastes so awesome and unique that it overcomes the superiority of glass packaging. See our 176,000 active FB fans to verify that this drink tastes better than any other soda in glass, fountain, or home made. Of course it is not from Earth but from Purple World; so not fair to compare to younger civilizations… Peace out

Really love this idea, here’s to Mr. Ginsburg, may this facility be open forever and may I get to see it with my own eyes someday!

Ah JeffBeverage you will have to send me samples of your Purple Beverage. When my wife saw this article she asked me “what is CSD” and I told her it was “Communist Soviet Deviant” so she thought it was an article about Leninade and Red Cola Revolution!! :)

I love Galco. Best soda selection on the West Coast. John is by far the soda-oracle.

if you like Glaco, you will fall in love with Dr Soda!
Real Deal

Actually, you don’t know what you’re talking about. The one feautured in this article is the distributer to Galco & Rocket Fizz. This place (Real Soda in Real Bottles) has about 2,000 different flavors, and everything is cheaper due to cutting out the middle man (Galco/Rocket Fizz/etc.). Another place that is just as good is Garvey Nut and Candy (But you have to buy by the case).
Real Deal

Actually, Danny Ginsburg has taught John many things such as a lot of the crooked ways of Coca Cola. Without Danny, John may not have even been successful. Danny and John may be equal in terms of soda-oracle.
