@KrisMBarnard @vinoshipper @IntractableLion You forgot the storm runoff reporting and fees

@Cider_Review @BarMas Thank you @BarMas This applies to the US as well. The concept of cider here is so dilute. The battle to convince people that it's more than a sweet alcopop is disheartening at best at times

@KrisMBarnard Got our grapes done except 1 Lenoir vine we're going to root. Our farmstead quince and some peaches are already at bud break 🤯

[Raging Cider & Mead @RagingMead]

@RossCider Our harvest is 3 weeks behind; and, our brix are far lower (20% lower) than usual due to a wet, cold spring and multiple rain days since just before harvest here in Southern California

@simoningall Fancy clothes, punk rock hair 🤣 when we got married in 1985

[Raging Cider & Mead @RagingMead]

Loving our S.V. Lincoln Perry. Dry with light citrus, pear notes, and the mildest of tannin

[Raging Cider & Mead @RagingMead]

@TheCiderCritic @hopandwedge It was a very dry year as well which drives up the sugars. In contrast, we got far more rain than normal during harvest in 2022 and are looking to have our lowest abv's ever from that harvest

[Raging Cider & Mead @RagingMead]

A case of "Cider Like Wine", our 2020 Miner's Reserve is a blend of English, French, and American Cider varieties dominated by Burford Redflesh. It has the best attributes of a cider from Herefordshire with a mouth coating berry note. A dry year, it finished at 12.7% abv

@whingingpomme_ @Cider_Review What an absolutely wonderful deep dive of thought into the natural world. Thank you!

[Raging Cider & Mead @RagingMead]

Wassailing in San Diego County? Indeed!

[Raging Cider & Mead @RagingMead]

@McGeePDX @ANXOcider 🤣 our Black Twig is typically in the 8.5% range as are 95% of our ciders due to our terroir. California in general should be called the Imperial State then
