Orin Swift Cellars is a premier winery located in St. Helena, California. Locations, a project by Orin Swift is quite simple: Find areas in the world where where soil, climate and vines interact to produce grapes that uniquely express their Location through wine. It is even taken a step further by ignoring the rules some countries and appellations have by blending a wine that represents the country, not just the appellation. Stephanie has selected a group of Location wines that we are very impressed with and do a great job of expressing what Orin Swift Cellars intended to do with Locations Wines.

New Sage & Black Pepper Cider
|
|
Blackwater Cider has come out with a new product that has just arrived on our cider shelves: Apple Cider with Sage and Black Pepper.
The flavor of sage hits your tongue first. This is followed by hints of black pepper on the finish. If you like cider, you need to try this one.
Blackwater ciders come in a flexible 1.5 liter bag with a pour spout. As the bag empties, it also deflates helping keep air our and the cider fresh. Once "tapped", keep in the refrigerator and it will last 3 months or longer. Untapped, the cider will last about 2 years.
