Happy 2013, everyone!

We made it through another crazy holiday season and want to thank you all for supporting us and making every day exciting.

Quince & Apple now has three awesome year-round employees! The first month of the new year has been filled with days of planning and brainstorming with our team. We have some fun new ideas for 2013 – teaming up with other great artisans, creating new gift boxes, and definitely new syrup flavors.

Valentine’s Day!

Valentine’s Day is already coming up and you better believe we have something special for it! Order a bottle of Tart Cherry Grenadine on our website through February 18th and you’ll get a cute little booklet containing two romantic cocktail recipes and a free bag of our favorite tumbled almonds by Gail Ambrosius. Yes, free! Why? Because we love you and we love chocolate.

We’re very excited to kick off the year with Distill America, an event put on by Madison Malt Society, where you can sample some of the best craft spirits in the country and meet the people who make them! Join us on Saturday, February 23rd at Inn on the Park in downtown Madison. We’ll be passing out cocktails made with our syrups and several of the featured spirits. Be sure to stop by and say hi, it will be a lot of fun! You can buy tickets here. Really, thank you.

We can’t thank you enough for your support of Q&A in 2012 and we want to stay connected in 2013. Keep an eye out this year for more updates on our website, a monthly newsletter, and fun events at our favorite local places. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter to stay up to date on where you can find us on the menu and when we’ll be out and about sampling our preserves and syrups. And email hidden; JavaScript is required – we love to hear about new recipes, drinks, and other suggestions. For example, in response to your requests, we’ll be adding an extremely delicious gluten-free option from Potter’s Crackers to our gift boxes soon.

Thanks again for being great. Cheers to the new year!
