"Just Don’t Call It Moonshine" at the NYT
What would it take to make this movement start happening in North Carolina? Lord knows we have the brainpower, the agriculture, and the heritage. Who would be the first person to open a distillery in Durham?
Dunno about Durham, but the Top of the Hill guy is working on opening the first modern/legal distillery in the state:

Ross: Neat; thanks! Apparently Piedmont Distillers is the first modern distillery in the state; Topo Distillery will likely be the second. Maybe some civic pride will push Durham forward in that direction. :)
