Tom: It was a lot of fun but also really very interesting and stimulating. In New York, Jimmy Carbone did a special Beer Sessions radio show on cider and then a tasting at Jimmy’s No.43 which was well attended and noisy. Jimmy seemed very enthusiastic and supportive. Ben and Jennifer from The Queens Kickshaw came with all their staff which was fantastic. Jeff and Mrs S made me very welcome at Bushwhacker and they have the best chilled display of ciders that I have ever seen. David White and a whole host of cider heads came out Heather, Alex, Philippe….
Then I went to Salem with my good buddy Chris Horn to visit with Kevin and Mark at EZ Orchards and James and Nick from Wandering Aengus. So much talent and enthusiasm in a very fertile part of the world, it made for a great visit.
