061: Musée du Poiré | Normandy France
See all the videos of the Musée du Poiré by visiting the Cider Chat YouTube Channel The Maison de la Pomme et Poire (House of apple and Pear) was created in 1983 in Barenton by the Normandy-Maine Regional Nature Park. In June 25, 2016 it reopened, after a bit of new construction, as the Musée du Poiré. In this chat we discuss the Route du Poiré which can be followed along in this region of Normandy and trying to find the Musée du Poiré. This adventure began when The Nose and I having only one day left in France, after our chat with Eric Bordelet, decided to head in the opposite direction of where we needed to go, so that we could visit the museum on all things Perry or Poiré, as it is said in French. The museum has ample parking and is Free and open from April 1st to October 15th - Do double check as these dates might change. It is closed on May 1st Set up a guided tour for the minimal fee of 2.50 (euros) The museum breaks down the historical path of apples and pears. The information plaques along the accessible path into the orchard begin with the time when Dinosaurs became extinct around 40-60 million years ago It was then that the first form of wild apples and pears began to grow in the forests of Kazakhstan - around 20,000 BC.....then, Paleolithic times 300,000 -BC - 6000 BC - "the first fruit seduced the first nomads" Neolithic 6000 - 2200 BC Persians transplanted and planted orchards Antiquity 3000 BC - 5th century - This is the time of the Silk Road and the beginning of major trade routes. The Romans are noted as being responsible for the apples arrival in what we know as Spain and then France and of course the UK Middle Ages 5th century to 15th century - Apples are becoming identified and named by pomologists and they are also traveling out into the new worlds. According to the museum it says that Apples can be traced back to 45 million years. Whereas with pears their history is a bit more of a mystery! Fun tidbits found at the museum: For a Perry to be worthy of the Domfront Designation the "must" needs to stay in the tanks for 6 weeks to guarantee well-developed aromas. Cider and Perry was poured directly from the barrels during meals either into a pitcher, a ewer, or a jug. At the start of each year the cider and perry was considered to be tasting mild and as each month passed the cider and perry would become stronger as fermentation continued on until the yeast settled down typically in Spring. Cider and Perry were primarily consumed in place and thus they were not bottled. Stablizing the bottle pressure has always been a concerned and it is not until the 1950s that bottling became more widespread, and thus helped cider and perry to be marketed more broadly. Initial fermentation takes place in the barrel. The second fermentation takes place once the cider or perry is bottled and the presence of yeast, often wild yeast as is typical of France products occurs over a 2-4 month period at the temperature of 10C or 50 degrees F and at this next stage the cider and perry becomes sparkling. Where does the word crab apple come from? Likely from the Old English word Crabbe meaning sour, bitter. Real name is Malus Sylvestris (forest apple) They separate the pears as dessert pears, perry pears and culinary pears which are to be enjoyed on toast or sandwiches! "Gadage" - the name of the crusher used to crush apples and pears. Imagine a large round granite on a pole that is rolled around in a vat of apples by a horse. Look at the Cider Chat YouTube Channel to see The Nose moving the Gadage! and all the other videos associated with this chat!

060: Nicole Todd | Santa Cruz Cider Company, CA
Scrumping, gluten intolerance and the ingenuity of two sisters helped launched Santa Cruz Cider Company in 2010 and licensed in 2013. Scrumping: Taking apples from a forgotten orchard and one that is owned by someone else. When Nicole Todd and sister Natalie Henze found a forgotten orchard loaded with apples, they decided to go scrumping. That orchard is now owned by a friend and since then they have been offered to use an even larger family orchard dating back to 1880! The apples trees from both orchards are at least 100 years old and you can taste the terroir. The sisters and family hand pick all the apples and press using a Bladder Press. Nicole and I did a vertical tasting of the Barrel Aged Gravenstein Cider. We discuss the use of champagne yeast and the competition that took place in the barrel between the champagne yeast that was pitched and the wild yeast culture that was already in the bottle. What's an Apple Pretzel? Taking a shoot/sucker on an apple tree and wrapping it around in a pretzel shape while pruning. In time, the pretzel fuses, enlarges and helps provide more growth on the tree...and also creates a nice hand hold for apple pickers. Where to get Santa Cruz Cider? Go to the following link to find all the locations in Santa Cruz where it can be found on tap. In 2017 the company expects to be expanding their reach of distribution. Do stay tuned.

058: Eric Bordelet | Ancient Pears, Chay Tour Part 2
Please Help Support Cider Chat Please donate today. Help keep the chat thriving! We begin this chat with Eric Bordelet in the Pear Orchard…He lead us into a large green field with low grass. We look out in the distance and see 35 foot high trees ahead. The trees are laden with fruit. The background music is the sound of pears dropping to the ground. This is Part 2 of a two part chat with Eric. Listen to Part 1 here. There is a skip in his step as he walks towards the each giant of a tree, picking up fallen pears as he goes along to hold for a moment and feel it stage of ripening. The girth of some of the largest pear trees are much too wide for me to circle with only two arms. If a knight in full armor came riding into the field on his way to Paris, I would not have been surprised. It is as if we drank the tea and fell into the rabbit hole rolling back time. Soon Eric is pointing out the grafts on some of the oldest trees and my sense of normal is thrown even further off balance. Unlike the 200 year old apple trees I've seen in New England back in the USA, the graft lines on these pear trees are at least 4 feet high. It is as if the tree was sawed off and then perhaps a cleft graft was used. There is a visible graft line as if the root stock of an ancient pear tree was sawn off and then the new pear tree grafts where attached. We then move on to Chateau de Hauteville where Eric is rebuilding the castle on this site. After a tour in the Castle, we walk down to the cidery and touch upon BioDynamic Farming.

057: Eric Bordelet | Normandy, France Part 1
Find this episode and all episodes at the page for Cider Chat's podcasts. Eric Bordelet is both the maker and the brand at Chateau de Hauteville in the southern edge of Normandy in the village of Châtaigne. The fact that he exports 80% of his ciders to markets around the world at a premium price worthy of a fine wine is just one of the reasons that the brand Eric Bordelet is so highly sought after by both wine and cider enthusiasts. This episode is Part 1 of a two-part chat. Part 2 will follow as episode 058. During this chat The Nose and I are having lunch with Eric at the Hôtel Gayot in the lovely and lively village Bagnoles de l'Orne. You will find Eric’s cider on tap at this hotels restaurant - though it might not say anything other than “cider” it is indeed Bordelet! There is also a shop where you can buy many of Eric’s cider’s and poires (perry) and calvados. Listen to the background sounds of lunch time at as we discuss his path towards cider, beginning when he worked as a waiter, then a sommelier. Part of Eric's fame is that in Paris at the time his wine list was second to none...and for France not to mention Paris that is quite a feat. With his parents retirement and the realization that one could not age into the role of a sommelier he decided to head back to the family farm and make cider. Eric discusses how his interest in food and working with chefs, helped to hone his cider skills. And certainly the impact of his late friend and mentor Didier Daganeau. In Part 2 we tour the rebuilding of the Chateau de Hauteville and the chay (the common phrase in this region for cidery).

056: Chuck Shelton | Albemarle Ciderworks, Virginia
Please Help Support Cider Chat donate today. Help keep the chat thriving! Chuck Shelton of Albemarle Ciderworks & Vintage Virginia Apples weighs in on blending and single apple variety ciders and the complexity of cidermaking. This Virginia cidery is a family run business on a farm that was purchased by the Shelton Family. Today the business side of the cidery is managed by his sister Charlotte, while Chuck overseas the cider. Their brother Bill is the Nursery Manager and Bill’s daughter Anne Shelton is the General Manager. This is a142 acre farm with a 12 acre orchard, where they grow over 250 varieties! The soil is red clay or what Chuck calls a “rocky. red clay”. The Sheltons tend to apple tree for the cidery and also sell trees. Their friendship with Virginian Tom Buford, has been fruitful for the family not only because he is consider now part of the family, but due to his extensive knowledge of Apples. Tom is the author of Apple of North American: Exceptional Varieties for Growers, Gardeners and Cooks, which won the 2014 American Horticulture Society book Award. Chuck Shelton was an “amateur cidermaker” for 7 years before he took a class in 2006 with Peter Mitchell, who teaches cidermaking. In 2008 the Sheltons obtained the licensing to open Albemarle and in 2009 the cidery was opened to the public. Visitors can purchased ‘fresh pressed apple juice” for consumption and a full range of blended and single variety ciders.

055: Apple Songs to Sing-a-long
Apple songs and sing-a-longs helps put a rhythm to the work day and marks Wassail celebrations around the world. This week's chat we begin with a fun Apple Song led by David Gott, who has worked as a pruner and maker of fresh pressed Sweet Cider. David's banjo style and ability to lead a group in a sing-a-long is reminiscent of the late and legendary singer/songwriter Pete Seeger. The beginning of this chat, which by the way I recorded while sitting on the floor at my AirBnB while away from home for work, I chat on the basics of 'racking cider over' once the initial fermentation is done. Tips for racking cider. Sanitize all your racking equipment, the outside of the carboy and inside the new carboy (5 or 3 gallon glass vessel). Use food grade tubing, Use a clothes pin to hold the food grade clear tubing at the mouth of the carboy so it doesn't slide down to the bottom and suck up all the "smutch" on the bottom. Leave that behind and pour off into a mason jar once done, then place the jar into your refrigerator and let is separate. You can then drink the clear liquid off and get to know your cider better on its path to conditioning. Use sterile water in the airlock or if you have the cash use vodka in the airlock. The airlock is an S-shaped tube that goes into a stopper. It releases the CO2 that is being produced during the initial fermentation, while keeping Oxygen out. The biggest tip is to have fun. About 13 minutes in we sing two more songs. The first is make up by David Gott and Rick Stone called Thick Grow the Branches oh! The second the Wassail Song Wait till the end and sing-a-long for an oldie but goodie song.

053: Michelle McGrath | Executive Director, United States Association of Cider Makers
Michelle McGrath is the Executive Director of the United States Association of Cider Makers, a trade association for the cider industry. In this episode she chats on the mission of the USACM, the goals for the year, the upcoming Cider Conference (CiderCon) and the Pick Cider initiative for Thanksgiving. The four core mandates of the Association Advance cider in the market Increase opportunities for peer learning Promoting a cider friendly regulatory environment Supporting the cider apple growers The USACM has over 1300 members. 95% of cidery members are making less than 500,000 gallons/year Membership in the USACM is tiered. For instances, The Cidery In Planning is $175. And there is even a tier level for "Home Cidermaker/Enthusiast" - $75.00 (USD) Find out more info at http://www.ciderassociation.org/join Michelle provided an overview of the Cider Act that comes into effect in 2017 It will increase the allowable carbonation in cider Increase the allowable alcohol content from 7% to 8.5% Perry will now fall under the definition of allowable cider. And, there is a change in the Bond requirement for small cider producers, if not all alcohol producers. If you owe less than $50,000 a year in taxes, the government is going to stop requiring a Bond. If you already have a Bond, will get it back. BUT YOU have to request your Bond back and prove that you are a small producer. Michelle also discussed: The Craft Beverage Modernization Act that is still yet to be passed. Within this ACT there is a component that benefits small wineries. It expands the small producers tax credit. Right now the credit is available to producers of 150,000 gallons or less and will up that amount up 750,000 gallons or 3/4 of a million.
