Gabe Cook

THE CIDEROLOGY SESSIONS ARE LIVE!!!! Welcome to a series of 3 videos giving an introduction to the wonderful world of cider. These videos are not part of a formal training programme - there is no certificate at the end. BUT if you want to learn more about what is cider, the kinds of apples that go into the drink and the magic of orchards (not to mention lots of facts, stories and silliness along the way) then these downloadable videos are for you. Sit back, relax, crack open a cider and join me in the orchards of The Shire as you listen and learn about cider being a truly magnificent drink. The link to these ground breaking videos can be found via the link in the bio. Wassail!! #cider #ciderology #ciderologysessions #ciderologist #learning #edutainment #education
