BEVERAGE FORMULATION & DEVELOPMENT
Need Help With Your Formulation?
David Cordtz is known for his flavor profiles. His many years as a wine maker and wine judge at the prestigious Orange County Fair Wine Competition led to his well-developed palate. He can take this experience into formulating a beverage that has both the aroma and the flavor to make your product a winner.
He has formulated and developed Gold Medal Award winning beverages in the drink industry in four separate beverage categories: Wine, Hard (Alcoholic) Cider, Sparkling Juices and Functional Beverages (probiotic teas, protein smoothies, etc.).
Sonoma Beverage Formulation Consulting will work hard to understand the taste profile you wish to offer the consumer. We will help you sort through the multitude of options available in the development of a superior commercial beverage formula.
Will your beverage be all natural or organic? Will it be carbonated or still? Refrigerated or shelf stable? Will it contain alcohol or be non-alcoholic? High or low in solids? Clear, cloudy or somewhere in between? Sonoma Beverage Formulation Consulting will guide you in making the best choices for your brand.

Each custom packaging facility offers a finite set of capabilities. Some may only pack beer in cans; others may offer only glass bottles with preservatives added.
