Review: Ridge Runner Vodka
Ridge Runner Vodka is six times distilled from 100% corn grown on nearby family farms and pure water from Fayette Springs. Christian Klay opened Ridge Runner Distillery July 2015 in Chalk Hill Pennsylvania. After growing up a second generation wine maker at Christian W Klay Winery, a winery named for him by the winery’s founders and his parents Sharon and John Klay, Christian went away to college and then worked in the tech industry.
