The New Zealand vintage is basicly on top of us. I am really hoping to be able to distil some grape-based products this year. Top of my list is GRAPPA! I have no experience making the spirit, so I wanted to get some advice from a professional distiller. Ilias owns and operates Mastrogiannis Distillery out of Lakewood, WA, that focuses on traditional Greek spirits. Understandably this means a whole lot of grapes for brandy and grappa. In this episode, Ilias gives us advice on finding grapes, selecting grasp, yeast and fermentation and of course distilling.
