Cider and Perry

| Dear cerbaco,
Apologies to Max
Allen who actually wrote all these realistic and
fine descriptions of ciders and perry which we failed to
acknowledge to be his .
It is unforgivable and unfair since we could never
have matched the elegance of his style.
This is why we are re-sending this newsletter to give
back to Caesar what belongs to Caesar.
Happy new year and hope that
2009 will be not as bad as everyone loves to
predict.
Life continues and your shelves have to
be still filled with good products.
Also, we take this
opportunity to let you know that all ciders and perry are back
and fresh....
"These poor man's
champagne make you regret not to be
poor"
They are true rustic, farmhouse style Normandy and
Brittany ciders. They are bottle conditioned (a secondary,
fizz producing fermentation takes place inside the bottle. It
is cloudy in appearance and have bits of old yeast floating in
them, like coopers ale. As well as the intense flavor of tight
little apples, there are undeniable funky aromas that
romantics like us perceive as the smell of barnyards and hay
and old barrels but technocratic tasters dismiss as
microbiological spoilage.
They are drinks with
heaps of character. |
