Vignette Wine Country Soda makes its debut at Bristol Farms

BERKELEY, CA (MARCH, 2009) -Vignette Wine Country Soda, the all-natural, effervescent, non-alcoholic beverage lightly sweetened with the juice of California varietal grapes, has announced that it will now be available at Bristol Farms stores throughout California.



With 15 locations, Bristol Farms makes an ideal setting for founder Pat Galvin to take Vignette Wine Country Soda to the next level.  “Although already sold in numerous gourmet markets, upscale restaurants, and winery tasting rooms, availability of our beverages in Southern California is not widespread and our goal is to make our brand  readily accessible to consumers in more markets,” says Galvin.  “As interest in Vignette continues to grow, we could not be happier that Bristol Farms, with its dedication to providing the finest assortment of high quality specialty foods and beverages, will be a key partner to help us achieve that goal.”



Galvin was inspired to create Vignette Wine Country Soda after discovering an opportunity to make use of the delicious wine grapes abundant in California in a sophisticated non-alcoholic beverage.  With his proximity to wine country, Galvin researched and realized that an effervescent soft drink utilizing wine country varietals did not exist. “With the growth of sparkling juice drinks, gourmet sodas and the increasing attention to natural ingredients, I was shocked to discover no one was making use of the high quality wine grapes all around me for any type of soft drink,” says Galvin. “The goal from the beginning was to create a uniquely refreshing beverage and a new brand that capture a little bit of wine country magic in a soda bottle.”



Vignette Wine Country Soda is an all-natural, effervescent, gourmet soft drink lightly sweetened with the juice of premium California varietal grapes. Currently available in Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Rosé varieties, the sodas have a sophisticated, vine inspired label and are presented in either single-serve, 12-ounce glass bottles or convenient four-packs. Vignette Wine Country Soda is now available at Bristol Farms store locations throughout California, as well as select restaurants, gourmet markets, and winery tasting rooms throughout the United States.
