Chauvet Brandies

​The story of the honored French immigrant, Joshua Chauvet, begins with a pursuit of gold during the rush of the 1850s. After seeing a positive return from baking and selling bread to fellow miners, Chauvet set up shop near Sonoma Creek. The proceeds of his baking endeavors lead to the import of a state-of-the-art copper still from France, introducing Brandy to the Bay Area. Stories of his rambunctious Irish wife, Ellen Sullivan, are popularly told due to her fervent pursuits of the drink. Chauvet died in 1908, after gaining great acclaim throughout the region for his pioneer into the world of wine and spirits!
