A special listen with five New York State cidermakers, who each brought home medals from the  Royal Bath and West Show cider competition in the UK!

The introduction is by Sara Grady, Vice President of Programs at Glynnwood.

Jennifer Smith, Executive Director of the New York Cider Association

This recorded presentation showcases the ciders listed below each maker, beginning with Autumn Stoscheck. - Do note though that there were even more ciders that won awards!

Each of the listed ciders where poured and presented in a straight row before each attendee. The ciders stood tall like touting geese saying "Look at me and take a sip!"

I love being poured a fairly copious amount of cider as it showcases abundance and that is exactly what the party going 24/7 in Ciderville is all about!
