How wonderful to hear from you, Cherie! It was in the 1970's when I married into the love of Undina. (My mother-in-law was born and bred in Higganum.) So I thank you, personally, for your part in the work! The white birch beer was far and away my favorite, but your cream soda was excellent as well.

My Dad, Fred Norton, owned Undina with his partner Trian Neag. I was about 6 when he bought the company. My dad was born in Middletown but was of Irish decent. I can't remember the year he sold it. Birch beer was my favorite and no other compares. I worked in the office in the 70s answering the phone and doing bookkeeping.

Thanks for the comment, J.D. It's wonderful to hear from someone close to the source, as it were.

When I was in high school -- and beyond -- I worked weekends and summers at Undina. This would've been the late-1960s into the 1970s. Trian (correct spelling) and his wife, Jean, and daughter, Nancy, lived on our road and were family friends. The history of Undina, via this blog, was new to me! Thank you!

I hope you find some, but don't raise your expectations too high. We still had a few bottles left when they went out of business, and saved them for a "special occasion." Years later, when we finally opened the bottles, they were but a shadow of the true vintage.
