Seb and I visited there a few weeks ago on a stop for cider donuts (great, inexpensive donuts there BTW, and they also have quince jelly, which has become sort of a running joke now -- though we have not tried the two together, yet). Of course we took a couple photos, mine; his.
Tried a grappa they were working on, it was excellent, not that I am any kind of grappa aficionado. They are really working a craft diligently and with some passion, so it's great to see success. Like Coco says, "if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen."
