At Tug Hill Vineyards we are dedicated to producing the finest estate grown, handcrafted, premium New York State wines available on the market today. Established in 2007, Tug Hill Vineyards is owned and operated by Michael and Susan Maring. The Marings have been involved in the horticulture industry for 30 years, having previously owned a landscape and nursery business. Twenty acres of premium grapevines, developed at the University of Minnesota, are thriving on our forty acre estate. In addition to our grapes, Tug Hill Vineyards features three acres of u-pick red and golden raspberries along with five acres of u-pick high bush blueberries. With ten varieties of cold hardy French-American hybrids planted, we hope to produce a diversity of wines, dry to sweet (red and white), that will please every palate.
Great Western Malting Co. is a Vancouver, WA-based company in the Manufacturing sector.
Cascade Brewing was founded in 1998 by owner Art Larrance and brewmaster Ron Gansberg. Together, Art and Ron put their 40 years combined beer experience to work, designing and installing Cascade`s 10-barrel brewing system in Southwest Portland, then creating and distributing well-balanced traditional ales. Sour beers really came about by default. The pair had followed the trends of traditional ales and were growing tired of what they referred to as the “hops arms race” of ever-hoppier beers, especially in the Northwest. Both wanted to focus instead on beers that offered an intense sensory experience other than hops. They considered what they could draw upon from the region: an abundant supply of wine barrels from the nearby wine country, and access to delicious and plentiful local fruit.
We are in Driggs, Idaho; on the west side of the Tetons, across Teton Pass from Jackson Hole right on Highway 33. Highway 33 is part of the Yellowstone-Teton Scenic Loop; one of the 10 most scenic drives in the West, according to National Geographic. The Distillery sits at the foothills to the Tetons, which get 500-800 inches of snow per year. The snow-melt provides an abundance of pristine mountain water used in proofing our spirits. Surrounded by acres of famous Idaho potatoes, we use the artisan craft method to distill a soft and smooth, clean tasting, yet full-bodied super premium vodka, now ranked the #1 potato vodka in the world. Our award winning potato vodka is distilled the equivalent of 20 times in small batches with every step carefully monitored. It is then freeze filtered 6 times through charcoal and garnet crystal to give you the cleanest, softest spirit possible. Enjoy it "neat" or make your favorite cocktail. Our favorite way to enjoy Grand Teton Vodka is over ice with just a twist of lemon or lime. Over 4 million tourists visit the region every year. Visit us soon on your next trip to Yellowstone, Grand Teton National Park or Jackson Hole.
