Hard Cider is Here!

After 38 years of crafting wine, we're excited to introduce our first ever hard cider, made with 100% apples grown in Millstone, NJ by our friends at Lazy Rooster Farm.

Our goal is to create new and exciting ciders as we experiment and learn more about the world of hard cider. Cider and wine are almost identical in process, only cider is 7% alcohol, while wine is typically around 11% or higher.

We still crush and ferment the fruit using yeast, but now we’re experimenting with which fruits are better as wine and which might be even more fun as cider. We then adapt and the rest will be up to you as to your personal tastes.

That’s where Cider Lab Fridays come in. On select Fridays, we’ll pour some of our latest cider experiments and ask you to help us decide what you think. So far, we’ve experimented with our own beach plums and cranberries, with plenty more ideas to come. Keep an eye on our Events page for upcoming Cider Lab Fridays and other special hard cider events.

For now come taste our Lazy Rooster Farm Hard Cider, it is selling fast!!! We love the diverse wines and cider we create for diverse living. Cheers! 🍎🥂
