Nashoba Valley Winery / J's Restaurant

On Thursday we went to Nashoba Valley Winery with M & J.  It's a wonderful place:  orchard, winery, brewery, distillery, and restaurant.  The food was delicious and the wines and beers outstanding.  No one else tried any of the spirits, but Jack loved the grappa.
