If you weren't making handcrafted hard cider, what would you be doing?
Cooking, hopefully.
What is your favorite cookbook?
Thomas Keller’s The French Laundry Cookbook, based on the fact that it was the first book that I bought that really made me want to cook. I had to buy a second copy because it fell apart. Larousse Gastronomique is another that has fallen apart—I’ve had it for years and still read it.

Wes and Jules, I am down for a hobbit party any time! Elevenses, second breakfast, you name it. I loved this feature. Great answers, very much in my wheelhouse. I can’t wait to try Argus Cider!
Jen, you are in for a serious treat!
Oh, Tepache… That brought back a lot of childhood memories. My grandmother had 12 children and very limited means, which made her resourceful like no other. I remember her saving the pineapple rinds to make tepache. Surprisingly, I’ve never tasted it, but the memories of it will always remain. Great post!
Maya, I *love* that tepache brings back childhood memories . . .
I love this Tastemakers series! Keep it up!
And Then The Doorbell Rang
