- Agree with your thoughts on bottle aged wine. Just finished up my birthday dinner. One of the bottles was a '95 Ch. Lascombes. It's been in my cellar (wine closet) for 10 years or so. Funny...

Trish, Clearly it depends on where you are located, but if you are Stateside, you may want to check out the Spanish Tienda (<a href="<a href="http://www.tienda.com).

Mind you, El Gaitero is not a "traditional" dry cider, but it's tasty all the same. If you're located elsewhere, let us know and we'll see if we can't hunt some down for you :-)

Magon, we are the the wine blogger's conference today, but will do a bit of research when we get back next week. Thanks for the question, and to be honest, I can only assume that "yes" some people do homebrew sidra, but as for an exact recipe, you're guess is as good as mine. But I'll put in some calls for you next week and see what we can't learn together. Cheers and have a great day!
