I made it back out to Raw Cider’s beautiful taproom today, located in the middle of Oregon’s wine country, the Willamette Valley. Raw Cider will forever be one of my favorites due to the care and quality that goes into every cider.

My biggest takeaway from CiderCon is that I need to plan a trip to Chile asap. 🏃‍♀️ Their delicious cider has a rich history and the people I met were so dope. I really wish I make their inaugural Pomum Cup in July!

Wow, that deep red is all apple, baby!

Wakota is an American red flesh with decent tannin. I expected the red berries but did not expect the tropical fruits like banana and pineapple. Rounded out with slight funk. This is why Liberty is always a fav 🖤

Kingston Black always tastes like bubble gum to me, but I have a friend who says it’s root beer for her. What does Kingston Black taste like to you?

Featuring: Big Red Apples by Bauman’s Cider. Notes of spice, red apple skin, vanilla, red berries, and bubble gum 😉

I had intended to be productive today but my plans have been thwarted and I’m now trapped.

Hadn’t made ciabatta bread in years and I’m pretty please with how it turned out. (Even though I know it’s one of the easiest to make!)

I thought this was going to be Golden Russet for some reason, but it turned out to be a blend of Winesap, Jonathan, and Roxbury Russet. Still really enjoyed it!

Is there anything more comforting after work than pizza and cider?

As I get used to a new platform for the first time in years 👵🏻, who from the cider world is on here that I should follow? 🍎
