New York City is one of the great food and beverage destinations in the world, and it's a thrill when cider takes front and center in this culinary capital for a week, showing up alongside some of the best food in town.

Trestle On Tenth Cider Dinner

I'd like to invite you to join me for a very special Cider dinner at 7:00PM on Tuesday, October 25th at Trestle on Tenth in Manhattan.

Five leading producers of American Fine Ciders will be pouring our ciders and discussing the evolving cider market, growing cider apple varieties, taking the wine approach to cider production, pairing ciders with food, and why we do what we do. All to the accompaniment of delicious fare from Chef Ralf Kuettel and his team.

This is a unique opportunity to hear from so many experienced cider makers about American Fine Ciders - Eden, Eve's Cidery, Farnum Hill, Foggy Ridge and Slyboro.
