Announcing Our Newest Cider -- "Black Magic"

Just bottled, this new cider is a semi-sweet blend of apple and black currant.  A truly "mystical" taste experience, Black Magic combines the crisp apple taste of our hard cider with the tart, rich flavor of black currants.  Come by and taste for yourself, or order online. 

New Distribution Opportunities for Bellwether Hard Cider

Our initial distributor, Finger Lakes Premium Wines, did a great job for us in Upstate New York.  As of September 1, 2007, Finger Lakes Premium will merge with Opici Wine Group of Glen Rock, N.J.  This high quality distributor will dramatically increase our opportunities to be in markets throughout New York State, including New York City.  In addition, Opici has distribution operations in New Jersey, Connecticut and Florida.  We won't be on shelves in those other states immediately, but we're confident that this will make special orders much easier and less expensive for customers in these Opici markets.

See us at the Farmer’s Market in Ithaca, New York…

Come taste and buy our ciders at the beautiful Ithaca Farmers market.  This market is a cooperative with 165 vendors who live within 30 miles of Ithaca, New York. Agricultural vendors grow and offer high quality fruits, vegetables, meats, eggs, poultry and dairy products. Food vendors bring a wide variety of freshly baked goods, jellies, honey, and sauces as well as delicious meals to eat at the market. Many talented artists and craftspeople sell their exceptional, locally made items.   Saturday 9am-3pm April through December, Sunday 10am-3pm May through November.  www.ithacamarket.com
