Sonoma Vodka

The Hanson Family Owned Distillery’s Sonoma Vodka is one of my go-to’s. They make hand-crafted vodka in small bathes from organic grapes, infused with whole organic ingredients. These local brands are just as high-quality as the global brands… lucky for me, it’s close enough to remain stocked in the kitchen.
