In July, Erenzo opened up tours and a shop at Tuthilltown Spirits, a micro-distillery that he co-owns in Gardiner, N.Y. And despite being sold at fine-dining locations and elegant bars around the world, his distillery’s store is the company’s second-largest customer – raking in over $150,000 in its first five months.”
