cider tasting and scoring

Sunday October 20th

3-5pm

 

Fall is in the air, the harvest season is upon us and cider and wine production is in full swing. On Sunday, October 20th, Thomas will be taking folks on a "Meet the Maker" cider journey like none ever before. For those who wish to join, we will be tasting our way through Mount Diablo Cider’s 2024 Fall releases complete with varietal history, production trials and tribulations and as an added bonus, evaluations and tasting notes from Mourad’s sommelier, Jose Delgado. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to be a sommelier or wish to pick one’s brain/pallet, this is your chance. Every patron will be provided with a structured sensory analysis sheet for each cider being tasted/evaluated (the very same analysis sheet used for the certified pommelier exam). Rediscover America’s original drink with Lafayette’s very own cider maker, learn how to evaluate wine/cider with Mourad’s sommelier and come away with a unique experience.

 

For Cider Club Members only.  Join now and participate in this unique experience!  

RSVP: tracy@mountdiablocider.com

good foods sf mercantile

Historically held three times a year, the Mercantile is the Good Food Movement’s answer to building commerce and community. Traditional trade shows typically convene tens of thousands of buyers, many not prepared to work with businesses whose core aspirations don’t include unbridled growth. The Good Food Foundation deeply understands the challenge that presents for smaller companies lost in a sea of booths, and instead curates a different kind of gathering: The Good Food Mercantile.

It is a one-day, intimate gathering of like-minded food crafters and merchants which offers the same sized booths to everyone, a start time conducive to arriving well-rested, and booth fees at a quarter of the price of other trade shows. Open exclusively to Good Food Guild Members, it is an opportunity for thoughtful, responsible American food crafters to connect with the growing community of retailers that value quality, care and craftsmanship.

The first Mercantile was held in January 2015 alongside the Good Food Awards in San Francisco. Since 2015, we have added an annual Mercantile in NYC and Portland, and are thrilled to bring together 350-800 retailers and media with 100-200 crafters at each gathering. In selecting attendees, focus is placed on ensuring a diverse set of food and drink is represented, with the goal of two-thirds regional and one-third national producers.
