I would be curious to hear from those in the know if Pepin has more in LADC than just blending for them.

This is interesting. I was definitely not aware that the brand is no longer owned by Ashton. Who owns it now? Interesting as well, is that they just brought out the Mi Amor earlier this year. Did this change only occur recently?
