59: Ciderville Tales | Monterey Bay, CA

The farmers of Monterey Bay California have been growing apples since the state constitution was first ratified in1849. The primary apple of the region is Newtown Pippin due partly to the demand for this apple by Martinelli's, a 4th generation family run cider and apple juice producer.

If you speak to any orchardist in the area, there is a undeniable agreement that if not for Martinelli's there would likely be no orchards in the area today.

This episode takes the listener along on my travels to the region to meet makers and plan for an up coming Totally Cider Tour" Monterey Bay. If you would like to get on the list for this tour now - do send an email to ria@ciderchat.com.

We begin with a song by Robbie Robertson of The Band "Christmas Must Be Tonight", sung by my cousin Jay. Then we head out on the road to meet with makers for an evening of cider and chat surrounding the upcoming cider tour.

Makers at the Cider Dinner hosted by Santa Cruz Cider Company

Robby Honda, Tanuki Cider Company - Santa Cruz
Erin Serventi, Serventi Ranch Cider - Watsonville
Laura Everett, Soquel Cider - Sequel
Katie Rider, Rider Ranch Ciderworks, Los Gatos
Jake Mann, Five Mile Orchard, Corralitos

After the meet up on the next day, I met with John Martinelli of S. Martinelli's Cider Co. in Watsonville
