Pommies Farmhouse Cider
Rating: NNN
Why I’m a fan of funky ciders (or anything funky, for that matter), and this offering from Caledon has just enough rusticity to keep it interesting. It’s also far less sweet and way more crushable than the original Pommies.
Price 473 ml/$3.05

Shiny Apple Cider
Rating: NNN
Why Made from Ontario apples at Niagara’s Small Talk Vineyards, Shiny is gluten-free (like all cider) and vegan-friendly. Winemaker Angela Kasimos adds a portion of Riesling to the blend, a natural complement to the bright, fruit-forward tartness of apples.
Price 473 ml/$3.25

Domaine Pinnacle Ice Cider
Rating: NNNN
Why Canada already dominates ice wine, so why not ice cider? This sweet, apple-based nectar from Quebec finishes with a soft pucker. Gorgeous with harvest desserts or a local cheese board.
Price 375 ml/$25
