VENICE John and Beata Dale and Shark Tooth Distillery now have their first batch of vodka after their partner, Steve Milligan of Loaded Cannon Distillery, and his crew filled 540 bottles Wednesday.
The next stop, John Dale said, will be putting the product on the shelves and a scheduled tasting on Saturday from 2-5 p.m. at Island Time Spirits & Gourmet Market at 421 S. Tamiami Trail, on the island of Venice.
“This is my husband’s gift to me on my 40th birthday,” said Beata Dale, whose birthday is April 10. “He said on my 40th birthday, the product is going to be on the shelf.”
