1. Miss seeing John in this little corner of CyberSpace. Looking forward to his next Schioppettino release this Fall.

When we visited John, probably 2008, we bought some of this nectar, along with some of his zins and PN's.. Spent some time with his charming wife and their kids as well while John was driving his forklift around..
