    Cognac church on th hill
    Apple brandy hunahpu
    110k batch 5
    Cucumber saison
    Bolita
    Winter warmer warmer winter
    Tocobaga
    Jai alai
    Maduro
    More to follow

    I will be there only one night on July 28. If interested let me know.

    I could potentially be there. I'm off that weekend if I don't end up going out of town. I'd call the guys at the Appalachian Vintner. Charles and Geoff are really cool guys and have had big tastings there before.

    Yeah, give em a call or an email. They like having tastings and have a lot of tables and comfy chairs.
    I'll be attending on the 28th regardless of where it's held.
    Just a heads up though, man... Last time someone from out of town came to Asheville with the intention of having a tasting, he brought waaaay too much beer. There aren't a ton of BAs around here and only a small handfull will likely show up. The last BA brought like 12-15 bottles and I think roughly 6 of us attended. I would expect about the same this time around. Maybe one or two more..

    Thank you for the heads up commis. I will try and keep it smaller unless someone wants to trade for stuff.

    By all means, bring it all if you want.. You never know. But be prepared to leave with a lot of it.

    Looks like I will be around that weekend after all, so I'd definitely be up for doing a tasting.
