"At the northern edge of Bavaria known as Franconia, Franziska Bischof carries on her family’s distilling tradition as 'Die Brennerin,' or The Distiller. A brandy sommelier certified by the Genussakademie Bayern, Bischof opened the country’s first dedicated 'Destillathek,' or distillery tasting room and shop, in 2017, inspired by winery Vinotheks." - Adam H. Callaghan
