107: Building San Jose with Cider | The Cider Junction, CA

Reserve your spot today for the Totally Cider Tour to the UK! The cider tour begins in Bristol, UK on April 25th and then after that evening's dinner at The Stable for the "Ultimate Cider" dinner we head out to tour around Somerset and then Herefordshire through May 2nd. Sign up for a trip of a lifetime and come along with Ria, the host of Cider Chat and fellow cider travels.

The main chat this week begins at 10:54 minutes

The Cider Junction is a 31 tap cider bistro and bottle shop (26 dedicated to cider), located 10 minutes from San Jose International Airport and smack in the middle of an area once known as "Valley of Heart's Delight"! Thanks to owners/publicans Claudia Derp and Tracy Smith craft cider is pouring seven days a week in San Jose California.

For this chat I headed to The Cider Junction with "The Nose" to meet Claudia and Tracy. I was curious to hear how their newly opened "bistro and bottle shop" was doing only one month after their opening.
