All of Asconi's food is locally sourced from Puhoi, the village it is surrounded by. The food is very good, though I didn't like the sausages -they were not well ground enough and were bland.
I missed my self imposed one a week deadline of getting something done, but it's close! There's very little cross stitching left and a lot of back stitching.
Asconi's cellars look rather typical of Moldovan wine cellars. The gardens on top of them were in glorious bloom when we visited in August, though! A lot of the garden had vegetables that they used in their dishes for lunch.
The tubes on the right weren't lining up correctly - there was a mistake of one stitch on one of them. It's all fixed now, though, and more progress made with that one big line almost all the way across.
Asconi's bottling system is the most automated in Moldova. No one touches the bottles or wine after the pallet of bottles are put in the staging area. All machine, even to boxing the bottles. This makes them both more sanitary and more even. It's great to watch.
