Cider Snob Notes

I call this a cider blog but it may be something else entirely. I'm hoping that if you like cider then you'll like what you see here (cider news, history, poetry, art, & apples.) On twitter, I'm @blyon3, on Instagram, I'm @cidersnob.

Found myself in full #TiltedShed Ciderworks uniform while weedwacking today. Appropriate, as @scott_tilted_shed was coincidentally disgorging his 2018 #VultureHill orchard designate method traditionnelle cider. If you want to taste this orchard’s most refined essense, support its existence and all the beings it supports in turn, try @tiltedshed cider. https://www.instagram.com/p/B-x5TfQpUPM/?igshid=1ita18cqu60fd

Wow - great photo from vulturehill. Here’s a haiku caption: As if through the fog, My mem’ries of you will fade; Spring, youth, beauty, love.

I imagine this image was about gathering firewood, but I’m reminded that it’s pruning season...
