Made from Esopus Spitzenburg, which is said to be Thomas Jefferson's favorite apple, Big Star's label shows the big star we found on the door to one of the horse stalls when we were renovating the carriage house. We bottled this as a still cider and it features a very pretty nose, good complexity and great balance. Big Star can stand in place of your favorite white wine with light pastas, seafoods and grilled chicken dishes this spring.
