A small Sonoma County cidery working in wild ferments and unfiltered blends instead of the sweeter styles most tasting rooms pour. The apples come from local orchards rather than concentrate, and the tasting room north of Sebastopol opens Friday afternoons and Saturdays for pours straight from the tank.
