Price: $12

Speakers: Brandon Buza, Jose Antonio Alcalde, Rene Galindo Quidel, Adam Wargacki

Date & Time: Friday, February 7, 3:45 – 5:00 PM

The use of quince in cider, as a blended ingredient or as a featured single varietal, has grown in recent years given a passionate fan base. Although quince is known for contributing unique floral aromas, customers, buyers, sommeliers and makers are still learning about this mysterious fruit. The full extent of what it can bring to a cider when done right is little known. In this session, participants will join us for a visual and sensory introduction to this exciting pome, carefully tasting through a flight of quince ciders to arrive at a better understanding of what quince offers to a cider’s aroma, structure and flavor when alone or when interacting with apples.
