Cider house rules are for fools
It seems awfully self serving to declare that "fruit origin irrelevant" when you use the name Julian to establish Julian Hard CIder's authenticity. Last year, Priscilla and Keith Webb (owners in part of Julian Hard Cider) were Julian's Apple Days King and Queen. Failure to promote local fruit quality by the Apple Day's King and Queen must also be disheartening to Julian Hard Cider's other apple orchard property owners. So permit us: "Wyatt Earp, the frontier lawman best known for his role in the O.K. corral shootout, judged apple products at San Diego's first County District Fair back in 1889--where Julian's produce won 88 first and second place awards. Julian apples took first place at the World’s Fair in Chicago in 1893, the St. Louis World’s Fair in 1904 and the San Francisco World’s Fair in 1915. Then in 1907, Julian apples won the prestigious Wilder Medal, the highest award given by the American Pomological Society." (www.eastcountymagazine.org/julian-apple-days-fest…) And we, Julian Ciderworks, directly measure and record fruit chemistry. Julian fruit can be twice as sweet as other areas. The following link takes you to a PDF summarizing our findings. julianciderworks.com/JulianFruitComparison.pdf Julian may have the sweetest apple and pear fruit in the word. So we disagree, the origin of the fruit really does matter. Brian Kenner (Julian Ciderworks)— June 22, 2017 1:18 p.m.
