Cider pressed from three different trees this Autumn:
Grange Cider Apple is from Billy's front orchard, small yellow-red cider apple on the highway fence line, picked in the peak of ripeness in October;
Zordel Cider Apple is from Mary Lou Zordel's yellow delicious apple, picked and pressed in the peak of its ripeness in October;
ICE Cider was picked and pressed in late November, from Joan Remsbecher's cider apple tree in the rear yard of Butch's Seafood Bar, when the apples had frozen hard and thawed several times. This was the sweetest cider of the season, and I hope it will be among the best champagne ciders I've ever bottled.
Cheers!
