MOSBY Grappa di Traminer
Over the centuries, on the small
winery farms of Italy and France, the winemakers would add water to the grape pomace and
distill it. In France, this crystal-clear, high-proof beverage was known as Marc.
In Italy it was called Grappa. The 80-proof Mosby Grappa di Traminer was made with
pomace from estate-grown Traminer. It is an excellent conclusion to a
meal—especially Italian cuisine—and should be enjoyed in the same way you would
enjoy a snifter of cognac or a fine single-malt Scotch whisky. (Order Grappa)
MOSBY Distillato
di Prugne (Wild Plum Eau
de Vie)
The Mosby Distillato di Prugne
Selvaggie is a distillation of Native Pacific Plums. Remembering when he was a boy growing
up in Oregon, Bill Mosby recalls, "We’d go into the highland and gather these
wild plums that grew in the mountainous areas of northern California and southern
Oregon." In a Los Angeles Times column, wine writer Dan Berger exclaimed, "One
of the most amazing products I’ve tasted is from Mosby Winery in Buellton. [His]
Distillato di Prugne Selvaggie (a distillation of wild plums) is one of the finest, most
aromatic liquids I have ever smelled or tasted." (Order Distillato di Prugne)
MOSBY Acqua
di Lampone (Raspberry Eau
de Vie)
The Mosby Acqua di
lampone is a
distillation of premium raspberries from a berry patch up the Columbia Gorge about 30
miles east of Portland, Oregon. "The raspberries are mechanically picked which
results in perfect fruit," said Mosby. "The berries are perfectly uniform in
color and ripeness. Smuckers Jams gets their raspberries from the same farm." After
harvesting, Mosby begins fermentation immediately and continues for approximately ten days
before moving it to the still for distillation. The eau de vie is
then brought to proof with filtered rainwater. (Order
