Plymouth Magazine just put out a wonderful article about our cider, and about the ‘science nerd’ that makes it. To be honest, Rob is more of the science nerd than I am when we’re working in the winery to make new batches, but I’ll take it as a huge compliment. Read the article here if […]

If you’re my age, you remember waiting breathlessly for the claymation Christmas specials and half-hour themed cartoons to appear on December weeknights.
