| - Un-Effing Believable, I NEED one of these lovely establishments in Orlando!
Me: "I live for cider!"
Rachel: "We have this cider house that I have never been to but I hear amazing things about"
Me: "What the HECK are we waiting for?"
We drive up and see this row house with a sign for this place outside and a cute sitting area outside, we think... hmmmm... the minute you walk in you feel like you are transported into an old school house and you want to curl up in front of the fireplace and enjoy a huge, refreshing cider... oh wait... this used to be the owner's living room! WHAT? Yes, I chatted with the owners, a lovely couple and the husband really loved cider and his wife said "As you can tell, he has an obsessive personality." They literally turned their living room into this cider house. They still live upstairs, this is what you call local passion. Amazing. They also receive their apples from a local farm, does it get any better? Yes...
This place makes me wish Yelp had a hidden star you could give for places that exceed other places you have given 5 stars to in the past. This is in a world of it's own.
So we had the opportunity to taste each cider and I loved each and every one. My favorite was the white grape and the pears. So crisp and delicious. They do not sell by the glass though so you have to get a growler to either take home or enjoy there. They run $20-22 which is not bad at all for the quality, flavor and love that goes into each batch. The wine sorbet is where it's at too. We got a growler to go and enjoyed a sorbet on the back patio. It's literally their back yard and they have a really cute sitting area. The sun was out, I was kicked back and just loving life.
This stop really made me dig the local love in Pitt. I was truly impressed and just blown away by the creativity and passion that goes into this place. Yes, it's great cider that you can get at some spots around town but you MUST visit this cider house to experience the entire world of this amazingness.
A huge thank you to Bill and Michelle for beginning and amazing thing and loving your community as much as you do. And...... again, please come to Orlando =)
