Cold River Vodka/Azure Cafe
July 10, 2006
Today we went to the Cold River Vodka Distillery in Freeport where they refine potatoes. Lili had the exciting opportunity to scrub the insides of the fermentation tanks. Meanwhile, the rest of us wandered around the facilities getting B-roll. Joe the distiller took us into places that are normally off limits to the public.
Lili had an interview with the owners, Bob and Chris, in the souvenir shop. It was brutal in there with the lights on. If you notice they look shiny, that’s why. Anyway, it was a nice shop and the people there were awesome.
After the distillery, we headed back down the street and stopped for lunch at the Azure Café. Owner Jonas Werner greeted us and made sure that we were well taken care of. Simon had his first lobster. He said it rocked his boat.
The Chef, Chris Meyer, prepared Damriscotta and Winter Point Oysters with a garlic, onion, scallion, and nasturtium mignonette and Chandra, our bartender, prepared apple, blueberry, and Cold River Vodka martinis. The whole experience was absolutely amazing.
