Bone & Bottle Reviews

Giving advice on the Area's best chicken wings and best hard cider. Also always searching for more places to try wings and drink cider.

A page originally began as a source of humour, I've decided to use this this page for good once more. This time, instead of being derp and derp accessories, I will bring the world what it really needs. That is information on the best chicken wings in New York and eventually beyond, as well as the best Hard Cider on the market.

After learning last week that there's a yearly endurance motor race held in Lithuania on a public road roadway every July, I realized that I had not shared photos from the star event of 2026 - the seminar!
🍎🍎🍎
Every year CiderCon highlights a particular region to be the special guests, and this year was cider of the Baltic region. I believe for many of them, it was their first visit to the US, so it was cool to see them explore and interact with everyone throughout the week. And for us attendees, this was a fantastic opportunity to try cider from an otherwise very overlooked region.
🍎🍎🍎
The seminar showcased cider from , , & which covered quite a variety of style and flavor, unsurprisingly some great stuff!
🍎🍎🍎
It was so cool to experience both the cider and the people of this region, and well, I'll give them credit for not being scared of some karaoke too... indirectly shamed me into later giving it a whirl too 😂.
🍎🍎🍎
So now, I have quite a hypothetical itinerary if I ever make it over there. And cheers to that! 🥂

Happy Friday!

No notes, just enjoying this Winesap after having a nice dinner with friends. Also had some wings that were surprisingly good... I'll talk about em later.

What's everyone drinking tonight? May it hit the spot no matter what it is. Cheers!

Some of the sights & sounds from last night -

A rocking setlist by &

Everyone in attendance had no issues quenching their thirst between event host & the N/As I was peddling. Thanks everyone who stopped by!

Also brought along a bottle of ...if I hadn't been here I would have been down there. Can't wait to see all the fun shenanigans that , , .kaplan & everyone got up to!

A Saturday with good drinks, good music, & good company is one that shouldn't be taken for granted! Cheers!

Saturday was the debut of and what a time indeed this was!
🍎🍎🍎
A selection of cidermakers from all over Canada & beyond 👀 converged outside of London Ontario for a festival showcasing the best pure apple cider on offer on the market to a passionate & enthusiastic crowd of thirsty drinkers.
🍎🍎🍎
A big well done to Tom from and Alastair & Martha of as well as everyone involved in putting this on. For a new event, from my seat as an attendee, this seems to go off as flawlessly as one could hope for! No doubt this is poised to be a long running tradition and a great addition to the lineup of cider events in the country.
🍎🍎🍎
Check out who all was pouring, with two oops on my part. I didn't grab proper photos of (too focused on that great video), and somehow Woodfolk…but a chance meeting the next day made up for this.
🍎🍎🍎
On top of getting to sample so many new ciders to me, meeting some great people for the first time like and seeing & again is always worth a trip! Overall, a fantastic weekend. Before you ask me for a favorite…don't. The floor on the quality was so high, that personally I would say you literally couldn't go wrong with anything there! Cheers!

The good times at were just a flowing yesterday, case in point - .

It was an amazing weekend overall, and more to come once I get home.

Cheers!

A full & bustling Saturday with friends & apples in abundance!
🍎🍎🍎
Started the day putting some more clicks through the Sony camera shutter for the / Pruning class. This was their 6th year of offering this class, and I'm told they have good weather every year! Mother Nature certainly approves, and a full class of attendees shows that locals also approve.
🍎🍎🍎
From one assignment to another - went down the road to spend an evening of music, bread, & cider hosted by & supplying the tunage that was reverberating throughout the venue. Doing my hustle and keeping people hydrated with non-alc drinks, thanks to everyone who picked up a can or two!
🍎🍎🍎
Will be back in two weeks for the 3rd concert in this series, but next week is and I am quite pumped for that!! Hope to see many of my Canadian friends there! Cheers! 🥂

It's been well over a month since and there's been some international cider gatherings since then including Craft Con & International Cider Challenge over in the UK, but this was still my last cider event, so why not keep posting about it?
🍎🍎🍎
It's been quite cool to see the Maine Cider scene take off over the last couple years, moreso in terms of bigger visibility than just in the state. How cool to see a Maine cider pop-up at CiderCon, including a 5 year showcase of cider from the legendary John Bunker!
🍎🍎🍎
Also really enjoyed the Future Cider Apples panel with him & , it was quite informative and a good, sober way to kick off a day when you know the liquid gold is pouring a plenty!
🍎🍎🍎
The "lack" of events for myself is coming to a quick end...a total of three events in the next 7 days, all local! Stay tuned for some posts about that, and of course building up to the Cider Salon Canada in two weeks! Hope to see a number of you there! Cheers!

Everyday within the Cider industry, and really anywhere & everywhere, the world revolves around the hard work and contributions of women. To all the women out there, we salute you! And to all those involved with our favorite libation, cheers! 🥂

2026 was my first time making it to the opening keynote speeches for , so call that personal progress! Lead by & , then presentations by , and some other industry adjacent partners, it was an interesting and informative way to kick off the official beginning of the conference.
🍎🍎🍎
Also, on a personal level, a nice test for shooting the cameras in low light. I'm not big on post production editing, but some slight lighting made these pop quite well I feel.

You know what I've not discussed in an overly long time? A good that's what. Now these wings were from last week, but today is THE day to chat about em.

Apple Cider BBQ Wings from in Saratoga Springs. 12 of these bad boys really fill up a plate, and your stomach too! The sauce...a little lacking on the flavor, maybe just a bit too subtle for the environment, but what I did get in flavor, was good. The actual wings themselves? Well 👏done. Not soft, and while not the crispiest ole thangs, they had great flavor, meat had appropriate texture, and overall, a very solid wing that did great to be an entire meal. Can't go wrong!

Also, a perfect pairing to wash it down with a .

More CiderCon recaps continue tomorrow! Cheers!

The "newbie" social networking meet up for First Time attendees is a great way for people who maybe didn't a chance to go on a tour to meet, mingle, and talk shop with both other first timers and people who've been to more CiderCons than they can count.
🍎🍎🍎
A fantastic ice breaker session before everyone goes wild with the Cider Share later that evening 😎.
🍎🍎🍎
Here's a few sights and shots from that event...also don't adjust your phone screen...a couple of those photos are pretty yellow... equipment malfunction but kinda gives em a retro vibe. Enjoy!

Tis the season to begin the cider festivals! While we're certainly not through winter yet, don't let that stop you from getting out of the house.
🍎🍎🍎
Over the years, their design may have changed, but has been a cider staple in Canada. However, for many, you may be surprised to know they offer more than a solid go to can in the stores.
🍎🍎🍎
Their cider house in the Niagara region is beautiful...and while it's been since 2022 that I've seen it with my eyes, the photos they post do their space justice. Also, you can find a large selection of ciders not offered in stores. This coming Saturday, they're having a special Wassail event and dropping some absolutely stunning sounding ciders! This includes a Single Varietal cider made from redfleshed apples, a classic Russet, and a pear/wild apple blend.
🍎🍎🍎
I've little doubt that these will be some of the best ciders to drop this year, so you're not going to want to miss this event! Cheers!
