“I dread that question!” laughs Mark Byrne, co-founder of Good Liquorworks, the distillery behind Good Vodka. As part of the team behind the first vodka made from coffee cherries, the pulpy fruit that encases coffee beans, it’s not the first time he’s been asked whether his spirit tastes like coffee.
As it turns out, Good Vodka doesn’t. The coffee fruit imparts a remarkably silky texture, and discreet flavors of pepper, anise, and vanilla, but not coffee. The vodka distilled at Finger Lakes Distillery in Burdette, NY retains enough of vodka’s Zelig-like neutrality to blend well in cocktails while still offering something unique for discerning drinkers.

Hanesbrands chief executive Stephen Bratspies, who took over his new duties on Aug. 3, received $4.83 million in total compensation for fiscal 2020. Contributed
The fiscal 2020 compensation for Hanesbrands Inc.âs chief executive Stephen Bratspies was heavily tilted â as expected â toward stock and stock options awards, the company said in a regulatory filing Tuesday.
Bratspiesâ total compensation was $4.83 million.
Hanesbrands is the lone publicly traded corporation with headquarters in Winston-Salem, as well as the cityâs only Fortune 500 company. The manufacturer has about 2,500 employees in Forsyth County.
Bratspies took over as chief executive on Aug. 3 already eligible for more than $2.8 million in equity awards. The company said the equity awards were granted âto induce Bratspies to commence employmentâ on his starting date.

But the unstoppable Charlotte Tilbury, dubbed the Mariah Carey of Make-Up, has no intention of resting on her laurels.
Rather than allow her creative muse to ebb away during lockdown, the ever enterprising Tilbury is, I can disclose, currently running her empire from the island of Lamu, off the coast of Kenya.
‘She’s renting a house,’ a fellow visitor tells me, adding that Tilbury’s example is being emulated by droves of London’s Notting Hill set.
