South Hill Cider Tasting at Elmwood
Try South Hill Cider (alcoholic). Steve has been bottling his own cider since 2003. As a musician firmly grounded in traditional American Old-time music, Steve can’t help but point out the many parallels to cider: in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, both cider and Old-time music were staples of American culture, only to be sidelined by more mechanized and industrial rivals. Working in Finger Lakes winery tasting rooms for a decade as a musician is where his music and cidermaking coalesced. Collaborating with winemakers elevated the quality of the ciders. The names of many of South Hill Cider’s bottlings are therefore inspired by many musical references.
Lexington Co-op + MAP Cooking Class Series: Kimchi Make and Take
