This cider is lively and eccentric, just like the man it was named for. Opera singer turned Master Sommelier turned inevitable winemaker, David Keck, helped to infuse this cider with intrigue by blending it with wine made from Frontenac Noir and Marquette grapes. The resulting collaboration has subtle hints of unripe cherries and warm mint tea, balanced by the apples’ tart acidity.

Bottle from their cider club. They also shipped a n/a botanical soda without an optional substitution so this one better be good. New Belgium goblet @home. Frothy, lingering lace over a raspberry iced tea-looking brew. TBD nose, as it's quite cold. ...Soft earthy grapes, orange & wild fermented cider so far. Pleasant acidity, sour cherry candy, lemon, lingering wild & bitter apples, leaves, okay tannins, faint oxidation. Little bit of a drop off in flavor from front to back. Crispy, but only faintly tart, mostly clean, relatively easy abv. First one of these that came out exceptionally well in a minute. Cheers.
