Wine Me Wednesday- Crispin Cider

Today's star may not be a wine, but it definitely deserves mentioning in this week's Wine Me Wednesday.  While waiting to be seated at the incredibly popular Founding Farmers restaurant with our family, my dad and I stumbled upon a relatively hidden gem across the street.  Wine Harvest is a cute little wine and beer shop that also serves sandwiches and cheese platters at surprisingly reasonable prices.  The staff were very friendly and I surely intend to go back on my next visit to try one of their intriguing dishes.

Since we had plenty of time to stop for a drink before our table was ready, we did.  My dad ordered a glass of one of the darker ales on tap, and as it was relatively early in the day and I hadn't eaten yet, I opted for a lighter beverage.  I gave my request of something light and refreshing to the fantastic bartender and he placed the beautiful glass you see posted in front of me.

Crispin is a light, refreshing, hard apple cider.  As its name entails, it is quite crisp, especially when served in a tall glass over ice.  The price tag for 4 bottles runs roughly $7.00 online and at 1.75 per bottle, the price is definitely reasonable.

I imagine that the beverage would pair rather nicely with a salad comprised of greens, glazed pecans, apple slices, crumbled cheese and a light vinaigrette.  Perhaps a few pieces sliced chicken breast to add a bit of protein to the mix.

All in all, I'd say that Crispin is my new favorite hard cider.  If you're in the mood for a refreshing drink (and of course, over the age of 21 in the USA), why not give it a try?
