He fled to New York, learned cigar making, then moved to San Francisco during the California Gold Rush before opening a sawmill in the Russian River Valley of Sonoma County with his brothers. Discovering that the climate of the Russian River Valley mirrored France’s Champagne region, Francis mastered the art of California brandy and traditional méthode champenoise sparkling wine. In 1889, seven years after the debut of his champagne, Francis Korbel began shipping his premium Korbel California brandy. By the turn of the century, Korbel was internationally known as an award-winning brandy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProfile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich, complex, smooth — best savored from a snifter\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Korbel (Francis Korbel — Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e California Brandy — VSOP Gold Reserve\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMaturation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aged in premium oak barrels for over two years\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/cognac-brandy\"\u003ecognac \u0026amp; brandy at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Korbel Brandy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42904152309831,"sku":"Y 189026","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/0640\/2375\/files\/korbel-brandy-vsop-gold-reserve-brandy.jpg?v=1782421572","url":"https:\/\/bourbonnest.com\/products\/korbel-brandy-vsop-gold-reserve-brandy","provider":"Bourbon Nest","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
