Hudson Valley Cider

Arietta

H Block Hudson Vineyards Cabernet Franc Merlot 2006

Not my favorite Arietta. Tons of vanilla sort of overwhelms the fruit on the palate. Great nose, though. A bit hot on the finish. — 6 years ago

Malus Mama

Apple Cider 2011

Sidra??? Nunca, pero esto sí!! — 7 years ago

Clos Normand

Brut French Fermented Cider

Santa Claud sings jazz to you in a small bar in Normandy, and you're cold but ruddy. Is this stand up or true mirth? It's the holiday you imagine in a bar near Skid Row in Downtown LA when you take a sip of this and are transported by a northern bite to your tongue. Irony or sincerity--it's so fresh but so sweet! I could go for more fizz, but one only feels permitted to request such things when engulfed by luxury — 9 years ago

Millstone Cellars

Farmgate Artisanal Cider

Very interestingness and tart — 10 years ago

Arietta

Hudson Vineyards Merlot 2012

Beautiful texture. — 10 years ago

Almar Orchards

J.K.'s Scrumpy Orchard Gate Gold Hard Cider

My favorite cider. A sweeter cider but well balanced and slightly spicy for an overall great flavor profile. Their Saskatoon cider is great if you are looking for something a little sweeter and more unusual. — 10 years ago

Ramey Wine Cellars

Hudson Vineyard Chardonnay 2011

Maybe the best Chard I ever had. Beautiful layers in this wine. — 10 years ago

Cidrerie du Vulcain

Cidre Premiers Emois 2016

Soft and bubbly, apple champagne. Flavorful but subtle enough that it can be paired as a desert wine. — 6 years ago

Kongsgaard

Hudson Vineyard Syrah 2008

Paul Costigan
9.0

2008: The overriding impression of the nose was smoky mezcal, no matter how many times I went back to the well. A silky almost glossy quality to the fruit. Most likely VA driving the nose, yet I imagine it's simply this bottle. — 10 years ago

Valveran

20 Manzanas Frost Cider

Unlike ice cider or frost cider made in the United States and Canada, apples are frozen using refrigeration technology meaning the frost only goes one way--in. In nature, apples will freeze, thaw, freeze partially and unfreeze partially, moving sugars throughout the apples. You'll notice a difference in style here because the producer oxidizes the cider as a way to compensate for the artificial freezing process, but it's still a delightful dessert choice on a list. A rep told me to pour it over vanilla ice cream, but I'd rather just drink it straight. Notes of oak, caramel and baked fruit, it reminds me of a dreamy blend of sherry and Madeira. — 10 years ago
