STOCK UP CASE SALE

Blue Mountain Cider Co.

For most Walla Walla wineries, the first weekend in November is traditionally Fall Release weekend. But for those of us who like hard cider, it was also the chance to stock up on cider by the case. That's because the facility in Milton-Freewater, Oregon, houses both Watermill Winery and Blue Mountain cider, both of which are owned by the Brown family.

In the Tap House, sample pours were available to taste the different varieties before making a purchase.

I left with three cases--pear, peach, and my favorite, cherry.
