AKBIGK Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 My 2 partners and I are interested in taking distillation courses. We are from Alaska, so airfare is expensive, and $3000 apiece is out of our price range. Do you have any recommendations for less expensive courses we can fly down for? Thanks.
