St. George Absinthe Verte, California, United States (750mL)

Producer notes - "11 years in the making. And right on time. Many distillers consider absinthe to be the pinnacle of their art. We labored over ours accordingly. It wasn’t legal to sell when he started, but master distiller Lance Winters spent over a decade refining his recipe anyway, which made us ready when the ban was lifted. St. George Absinthe Verte wasn’t just the first legal American absinthe, it still sets the standard."

Wikipedia: Absinthe is an anise-flavored spirit derived from several plants, including the flowers and leaves of Artemisia absinthium, together with green anise, sweet fennel, and other medicinal and culinary herbs. Historically described as a highly alcoholic spirit, it is 45–74% ABV or 90–148 proof US."

To All Our Wonderful Customers,

We have tried mightily for 4 years at our 114 Channel Street location, and for 15 months now at Chase Center, to reach a level of sustainability, and to find additional working capital to keep the two locations afloat. Unfortunately we have not been successful in either endeavor.

We deeply appreciate your patronage, but must close the doors while we attempt a restructuring of the business. Thrive City Wine Bar is closed effective immediately. 114 Channel street will stay open for retail only through March 31st.

We are truly sorry to have disappointed you,
