Take a DIY cider tour of Vermont Diane Bair
Could Vermont become the Napa Valley of the cider industry? Why not, say the folks at the Vermont Cider Association (www.vermontcider.com). They’re planning to design a Vermont Cider Trail, “a real destination for cider enthusiasts,” says vice president Sara Trivelpiece of Champlain Orchards. “Cider is so versatile, and it can bridge the gap between wine, beer, cocktails, and seltzer while being made from real, sustainable fruit.”
For the record, we’re talking hard cider, or what the rest of the world calls, simply, cider. (What we call “cider,” they call “apple juice.”) Most have between 5 percent and 7 percent alcohol by volume. This beverage has a long history in New England. For Colonists, potable water was scarce, so drinking fermented beverages was the healthy choice. Historians note that even children drank a weakened hard cider called “ciderkin.”
GUEST ESSAY: America is descending into madness
Benjamin Wachs
In the first week of December, the former head of Israel’s space program said that an extraterrestrial “Galactic Federation” is in touch with major world governments including Israel and the United States, but that … no, I am not making this up … it has been kept under wraps because humanity isn’t ready.
In the second week of December, America’s director of national intelligence warned that China is developing biologically enhanced super-soldiers. Still not making this up.
Now, I’m fond of Oscar Wilde’s maxim that “life imitates art,” but even granting that as a metaphysical truth … at the end of 2020 either the world is revealing itself to be a Marvel movie with unprecedented script problems produced by an alcoholic going through a messy divorce, or the sanity wheels are coming off and we are going collectively mad.
