In early 2018, Satellite Spirits co-founders Jonathan Dorfman and Dan Kennerson identified a gap in the locally produced spirit market in their hometown of Grass Valley, California. With backgrounds in business and physics, and a love for both craft spirits and the community they grew up in, the two friends founded Satellite Spirits and went to work creating what has quickly become the region's preferred vodka. Named after one of Northern California's iconic bodies of water, the South Fork of the Yuba River, the vodka is an homage to the river and the area where the co-founders grew up. Distilled 6 times from GMO-free American corn, produced with Sierra Nevada mountain spring water, and refined through a small batch finishing method, South Fork Vodka is making a name for itself.
