Testimonial - Sept 2023: "I'm a lifelong fan of vinarterta, like many Manitobans. It is among the very best desserts and I have had it lovingly made and or bought for me my whole life. Today, my sister brought home a slab of your work. I just wanted to let you know that it is without measure or bound the absolute best vinarterta I have had in years. Perfectly moist, soft, exceptional spice balance. I had to close my eyes to let the memories of love of my childhood wash over me as I ate a small square. You're doing great, fantastic, amazing work and I just thought you should know. Excellent. Regards, J."
