Demi Tastes Things

I was trying to clear some space on my bar cart tonight by transferring a the last servings of low bottles into tiny sample bottles, and I ended up with enough left of this bottle in particular to do a review.

Their apple wine was pretty good and true to the cider I knew, but this Apple Wine with Pear Brandy was a step above and really quite something. I gladly bought three bo...
