What a great presentation last week, Anthony from Ventura Spirits gave us so much information on his distillery and a virtual walk through as well. It was so great I had to get a couple (3) of bottles to try and so far, the Strawberry Brandy and the Apple, Potato Vodka were fantastic, tonight I will try the Prickly Pear Brandy.
