Abandoned Hard Cider Forager’s Reserve 2021
$23.00Add to cartPerhaps the most unique and limited of our selections, this cider highlights the wilderness of upstate New York. As their name would suggest, cidermakers Martin Bernstein and Eric Childs work exclusively from feral apples and abandoned orchards in the Hudson Valley. Not only does this make their production inherently sustainable, but it makes every single bottling different. While they have no control over the apple varieties they are able to forage for a given cider, precision is found in their blends. The result is a pleasantly dry, slightly creamy, funky delight. This cider stands alone but would make an excellent addition to a PB&J after a long day in the sun.

Astarbe Sagardotegia Byhur Sidra Espumosa
$25.00Add to cartA cider from a family with almost 500 years of experience. The history of this family is so entwined with Basque cider production that the two main apple varieties they use in their ciders are the Astarbe variety (after the family name) and the Mendiola variety (after the name of their farmhouse).
The result is ultra rare, a méthode-Champonoise sparkling Basque cider. It spends twelve months on the lees, resulting in a dry, balanced and full-bodied cider with fine bubbles and a long, intense finish.

Maison Gamet Cidre
$33.00Read moreLe Cider comes from Mardeuil, France, just outside of Reims, which is mostly known for its Champagnes and shares the refined palate of the region through the technique of a seasoned Champagne family. The Gamet family began making Champagne in the 1920s with vineyards spread across multiple estates on both banks of the Marne River. Their abandoned apple orchards were revived in an attempt to approach the land more holistically. This is truly the Champagne of the cider world: bright bubbles, low alcohol, and no residual sugar. It’s the perfect mid-day refreshment. Pop a bottle of this as a celebration, or pair it with eggs Benedict at brunch.

It underwent a wild fermentation, is unfined and unfiltered, and has no added sulfites. The result is a delicious blend of bittersweet citrus, bubbles, and a light funk. -
