Imagine waking up and your entire spirits distribution network is gone. That’s what just happened in California.

In this urgent episode of Kali Kat Tap Talks, we expose the overnight withdrawal of RNDC (Republic National Distributing Company) from the California market — a move that left distillers, bars, restaurants, retailers, and small businesses stranded with no notice and no backup plan.

🎙️ This episode unpacks:

• The impact on California’s spirits industry, from boutique distilleries to major suppliers
• The sudden disruption in the supply chain and the businesses now left scrambling
• The emotional toll on entrepreneurs who built their brands with RNDC
• A call to action: Who will step in to help California now?

This isn’t just about contracts — it’s about people, livelihoods, and a community now left dry and hanging.

📢 If you’re a distiller, bar owner, distributor, or just someone who supports local spirits — this episode is for you.

💔 California’s spirits industry is in crisis. Change is needed. Help is needed.
