Listen "Rifino Valentine on a collab vodka, facing big challenges, and a special copper pot still"
Episode Synopsis
Rifino Valentine, president and founder of Valentine Distilling Company is back on the podcast. He catches Trish up with all the cool things he's been up to, including a collab vodka with former football player and "CBS Mornings" anchor, Nate Burleson. There's a bit of controversy over whether or not Trish saw his company on "CBS Mornings" (Rifino says no, Trish says yes), but they figure it out. Rifino talks about why quality is so important to not only him, but really it's the foundation of his entire business. He introduces everyone to a very special copper pot still and tells the story of how it got its name. He shares the challenges his business has been facing, but is excited about some new things on the horizon.
