Cider Tasting Tailgater

An hour before the season kickoff at nearby Camp Randall, a group of five people gathered at WORT to sample a wide variety of fermentation products. PNM host Patrick Sajbel and co. were guided by David Kohlwey, vintner and cider maker, wine chemist, and Wisconsin State Fair judge. The art and chemistry of cider making is explored, from color and aroma to tasting for tannins, acidity and sweetness.

Kohlwey encourages others to join his passion for home fermentation via local groups like the Prairie Home Vintners and Wisconsin Vintners Association, Inc.
