silky, fruit-forward style of the Corvina grape, Negrara, Rhondinella, and
others ...

could get another bottle of the ' gluten-free' vodka that I had sold him?
GERALD AND I GOT to talking and we walked down the aisle to figure out
which one I had sold him as I reached for the BLUE ICE, potato vodka On
Special for $16.99, that turned out to be the one and he showed me how it
said : " gluten-free " on the label,and we both grinned! His friend really
liked it so he wanted more of this smooth, silky gluten-free vodka from
Idaho! Love this.
