Episode 134 – Eden Ciders – Eleanor Leger

This episode features ⁠⁠⁠Eleanor Leger⁠ of ⁠⁠⁠Eden Ciders⁠ ⁠.

It was December 2006 when Eleanor and Albert went to Montreal. They tasted ice cider for the first time. Their reaction was that it was amazing. They thought that they could procduce this ice cider in Vermont. The made their first batch in their basement. Six years after making it and selling to to local restaurants they began to explore what has become Eden Cider. In the beginning cider wasn’t a thing in the United States. It was considered more of a desert wine. They discovered different apple varietals to make a wider array of ciders. Eleanor and Albert have come a long way from their infancy. Today they produce unique, well crafted ciders that are layered in flavor, depth and character. So, why not cider? Pick up a bottle or can and taste for yourself.

Episode 73 – Caledonia Spirits – Sam Nelis

This episode features Sam Nelis of Caledonia Spirits.

We met Amy Casale at the Philadelphia Flower Show in 2019. Dressed in a Bee costume, she introduced us to Barr Hill Gin and we immediately fell in love with the spirits. We finally made it up to Montpelier, Vermont the home of the Barr Hill lineup. The distillery was founded by a bee keeper, Todd Hardie. He is passionate about the land and agriculture, as well as, what bees were bringing to the area. Todd partnered with Ryan Christiansen who had a home-brew store. In the beginning they came together and produced mead. Soon, they began focusing their attention on gin which began winning awards. The honey takes center stage and leads the way to make their special spirits amazing. Bees, as Sam explains, are the Angels of Agriculture. We had a fantastic time sitting down with Sam and discussing all things Caledonia Spirits. This is most certainly a destination that you want to put on your travel bucket list.
