“High quality small batch vinegar” built from high quality small batch beverages
Go back in time 150 years ago and you would find small batch vinegar production happening in every small town. Vinegar was local and the flavors were as varied and specific to the place in which they were created as we expect wine to be. But mass production ended all of that.
Today those varietal vinegars are rare — lost in a sea of large-scale homogeneous vinegars made mostly from corn and wood pulp and flavored after fermentation to taste like red wine or white wine or apple cider. Here at MhV, we’re returning to the old ways, while replacing an important com-ponent that’s been missing in the Ohio River Valley culinary ecosystem.
Available at Madison’s (Findlay Market), Avril Bleh and Sons, Butler’s Pantry, Dean’s Mediterranean Foods, Whole Foods Market, and now at most regional Krogers.

The Third Place
There is something magical about coffee that connects us all. From knowing producers all over the world to sharing a cup with a friend, coffee brings us together! At La Terza, we view coffee shops as sacred spaces where people can be in community with one another. These spaces can be called “Third Places” because they’re not your home or your work, but a “third place.”
This is actually the heart behind our name! “La Terza” is Italian for “The Third.”The Third Place can also be that messy, middle grey space that brings all our perspectives and experi-ences to the table to find lasting solutions. We are thrilled to announce the launch of our podcast, The Third Place. Our hope is to use this podcast to take deep dives into the “messy middle” and apply the principles we learn together to our relationships and to our own interpersonal growth.
