DRY Soda: The alternative to wine for non-imbibers

Sharelle Klaus was craving more. After abstaining from wine throughout four pregnancies, this Seattle mom, now 37, decided it was time for more variety in beverage options for all non-imbibers. In 2005 she launched DRY Soda from her home kitchen. The drink comes in four flavors -- lavender (our favorite), rhubarb, kumquat and lemongrass -- and, like wine, is intended to be paired with certain foods (kumquat with halibut, for instance). Within a month of bottling its first batch, DRY Soda made its way into some 30 top restaurants in Seattle. It's also sold in West Coast gourmet grocery stores for $2 a bottle.
