RICHMOND, Va. — For thousands of people in Virginia, Belle Isle is a historic location turned gathering place to run, hike, bike, or just relax on the James River rocks. But if Vince Riggi and Brian Marks have their way, Belle Isle will be known around the country for much, much more.
Riggi and Marks are brothers-in-law who created Belle Isle Moonshine, a Richmond-based spirit.
