You’ve seen the Crispin name floating around on this site for a while. Besides the fact that they do a bit of advertising on this site, I’m a huge fan and have been for quite a few years. In an effort to introduce more people to the concept of premium cider (far different than what most stores carry), they host quite a few events around the country. This particular event will be at Total Wine & More in Redondo Beach (a beach suburb of L.A.) — they’ll be talking about the history of American and European ciders, they’ll compare American fruit forward vs. English dry ciders and well as letting participants taste many ciders from around the world. Best of all, they’ll be talking about the fact that ciders are naturally gluten-free and how to pair it with cheese. For anyone going to this event (or any other Crispin events), I guarantee you’ll come away knowing far more about cider than you ever thought possible.
