Great Lakes Cider & Perry Tasting

That's right, cider and perry tasting. But you might be asking, "Ed, what's a perry?" Let me explain, it's like hard cider (made from apples) except it's made from pears. So solves that mystery.

Saturday, Jason and myself volunteered at the tasting which was located at Uncle John's Cider Mill just north of St. Johns Michigan. It was a fun day, we helped pour ciders and perrys at different tables and we were encouraged to taste what we were serving. Well, we did not want to go against what we were instructed to do...so we sampled...a lot.

We didn't get belligerent or anything like that, but we did get a nice little shine going. The night ended with a feast provided by Uncle Johns and we were able to bring some bottles home with us. All-in-all, a great way to spend a Saturday.

Sunday night I held and little dinner get together and we ate some pasta and had some ciders and perrys. A nice way to end the weekend. Until next post...
