      Hi Hillary! I'm still in the process of awaiting my production date- the latest I've heard is end of January- and from there 6-8 weeks to get the bottles in hand. So the best I can say right now with a definite answer is "sometime in March". I'll draw a definite line in the sand as soon as I can- promise! I want to celebrate with you as soon as possible! Carin

      Hi Cory- Sorry for the delayed response on this! First of all- thank you for your amazing support and pledge- much appreciated. And for your question. My plan is to launch in San Francisco and Northern California to start, since it's my backyard. Once I find a retail location with an online store to carry my product- they will be able to ship it around the country- and some can ship to other countries. I hope to have this locked in very soon after I launch in late Feb/early March. trust me- working very hard on this, especially as I've gotten so many global inquiries from the success of the KS campaign! :) Best, Carin

      Hi Carin! First of all congratulations on the amazing 100% funding of SIA. That's great! Just a quick question, for those who pledged higher amounts, will we receive all of the "rewards" from each level that come before that? Thanks! Can't wait for the launch party.

      How could someone outside the USA get a hold of some SIA once it has launched? (Since the only way I see to get a bottle through kickstarter is the private tasting, which does sound immensely fun)

      Really liked your video pitch. Having seen a couple of other local beverage success stories roll by (most notably Tito's Vodka in Austin as well as (organic) Republic Tequila in Austin -- i wish you luck. Look forward to seeing updates as you make more progress. Cheers.
