We live in Michigan and at least annually make the trek to Traverse City Michigan. The wineries have awesome wine tasting, the craft beer market in the area has exploded and the food is always amazing at a variety of places.

I just had the same experience. I got 15 gallons from a local orchard. I put it in three different carboys and added different ingredients to all three. The one was actually from the Apple Bee (Woodchuck clone) recipe from here...
