Real apple cider, done the French way, and biologique, too: set up a bottle of Val de Rance Cidre Bouché and enjoy an exquisite drink. This is fresh, apple-y, naturally sweet (none of that fake, sugary quality so many of our domestic models display) good bubbles. (It’s finished with a champagne cork and a wire cage.) After a glass or two, I’m confident you’ll agree it’s worth the 10 bucks they’re asking, “they” being the Liberty Wine Merchants, who bring in this cider and two companion flavours. Serve it cold but not iced; it dazzles The Bon Appétit Cookbook’s baked apples with bourbon and molasses. A treat at $9.99 for 750 millilitres.
