This week on Beer Sessions Radio, Jimmy will drive by cider town to discover a young and bustling community for Open That Cider Bottle Day. Recently created by the American Cider Association (ACA) to engage the cider enthusiasts and educate the interested winemakers, the occasion gathers to the show Michelle McGrath of ACA, Anne and Steve Garwood of Ragged Hill Cider Company, Paige Flori of Boutique Wines and Spirits, and Anne Shelton of Albemarle Ciderworks.The episode will start with Open That Cider Bottle Day’s origin story by Michelle, before the gang share with us the bottles they have been saving on air. Steve will then take the wheel to a comprehensive discussion of ciders’ potentials for aging and collecting, accompanied by advice for newcomers from Paige and aging experiments at Albemarle. The conversation comes to an end as the group shares their marketing plans for this day next year, with a culinary pairing focus and vertical tasting menus. Last but not least, our guest Michelle will leave you with a poetic cider-appreciation quote:“Friendly reminder: there’s nothing finer than deglazing the pan with your favorite cider” Are you a business owner?
