In which we visit the largest local retailer

Whose owner very generously gave us an hour of his time.  We learned they would carry us, they'd let us do tastings, they could fulfill online sales for us, confirmed our price point was right, and would do promotions, and told us to only start with the 750 ml sized bottles.

The best part, though, was when he tasted our vodka.  He sipped it thoughtfully, noted its slight sweetness, and then said it was "surprisingly smooth" with a "smooth finish".  It was so smooth he asked in mild disbelief how we did it.  And he said he, someone who drinks straight vodka, would drink it.

So, we are feeling pretty good right now.
