Paris Cocktail Talk introduces “Bee to Bottle” and Erika Spirits

This month’s Bee to Bottle episode covers the importance of bees to the agricultural landscape in France (and elsewhere) and how one small beekeeper at Erika highlights honey with a gin, vodka and mead. 

Our guest is Stephany Saint Faust of Le Saint, a brand development company that focuses on small farmers and helping them get spirits into bottles and on the market.
