A special “Programing Note” From John Kucko Digital
National Exposure for Finger Lakes Brand: Hollerhorn Distilling of Naples, NY will be featured on the very popular CBS Sunday Morning broadcast tomorrow (2/9) at about the 9:00am (ET) hour.
This is WONDERFUL news for Hollerhorn, a hugely popular distillery that also serves as a music venue, restaurant, gathering place, etc.. The focus on the network piece will be on Hollerhorn’s production of high end spirits, in particular maple spirits made from pure maple produced at nearby 12 Mile Creek Maple Farm in Naples (last image here). Karl and Melissa Neubauer have worked tirelessly to build this brand to what it is today. Karl is a Naples native and passionate about his hometown roots, Melissa is from nearby Rochester and together they have built something tremendously special. In 2022, a devastating fire tore through the operation here. They were steadfast in rebuilding bigger and better—their goals were, indeed, lofty ones. They are now a robust operation and will hit the national spotlight tomorrow. CBS Sunday Morning made a total of four trips here for this feature piece—which they began shooting BEFORE the tragic fire. Hollerhorn Distillery is all about local and using nearby farms for much of what they produce.
