This cider takes its name from a beloved dog. A big yellow Labrador retriever who creates mischief with his sister, Aster, at our Ithaca, NY. farm. The dog is named for the wildflower mullein, distinguished by its soft, furry leaves and bold stalks of yellow flowers. The yellow theme popped up as we wrestled with naming this cider. We realized that,
by chance, a preponderance of the apples contained within are yellow-skinned, including Golden Russet and a number of foraged
apples, wild and cultivated. MULLEIN #2 is full-bodied and fruity with soft acids and tannins. You decide what the dog, the plant, and the cider have in common. Or don't bother. Enjoy cool.
