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.

When a simple pick up becomes a full day adventure!
🍎🍎🍎
A few weeks ago when the Golden Apple Club order opened up, I made the decision to make the drive over to pick it up. It has been a couple years since I had last stopped in, so wanted to rectify that. It was a beautiful drive in, and clearly I wasn't the only one who wanted to take advantage of the day…place was packed!
🍎🍎🍎
Got my order, sampled a couple ciders (black cherry, and pineapple), had some great wings (smoked & fried, buffalo sauce), and as I was getting ready to head right home, steered me towards checking out and with that, the day made a hard shift to one of my old cider crawls.
🍎🍎🍎
Quick uturn to for cider donuts, but then the Cider Lab was locked in. I arrived, had some good conversation and a great “Bubba” dry cider, then was directed to check out the “Brew of the 802” event where Chris, the cidermaker was at, as well as Cedar of , who I've always wanted to meet. The event was sold out but big ups to the staff for letting me pop in and say hello. From there, it was off to
🍎🍎🍎
Blood orange cider & a Dirty Mayor Teriyaki wing plate, and that prepared me for one final stop - Sherbrooke Vineyard/ Eden Cider. Ruby & August who were working the building were great hosts, and the wine label’s ciders were great! A quick final stop to Beverage Warehouse to collect some ciders for the cellar, and I was FINALLY off back home.
🍎🍎🍎
Been a while since I've packed in a day like this…and doing most of it off the cuff to boot…can't beat trips like this. Cheers!

So, about Last Night...
🍎🍎🍎
Not words I've used together in years, but now necessary as I roleplay as your inner monologue & discuss this cider from in Maine.
🍎🍎🍎
Zach slid me this bottle back last June at Haverhill , which by the way, I better see a bunch of you at! As with many ciders, it has sat patiently in my cellar bar, waiting... lurking... existing, just longing for its purpose to be fulfilled. Why was today the day? Idk, maybe seeing posting about planted the seed ,and when I saw this bottle while filming upcoming content, it just all clicked. Seems legit.
🍎🍎🍎
Anyway, I mean .. the tasting notes really just nailed it. I don't exactly know what a lemon pith is... sounds wholesome, but yeah you get up front these notes of fresh squeezed lemonade. Fall flowers? Yeah, I'm certainly feeling surrounded like I was traversing a greenhouse with all the nice flowers...very petally. It's not a word but damnit, I grant it the title of one today.
🍎🍎🍎
Lastly, raw honey...which one could say you can find both of the previous notes within raw honey depending on the terroir. This drinks fantastic at cellar temp through room temperature. It's mid 80s in this part of the northeast today, and this did not feel like it weighed me down. It's delightful on the tongue, dries the mouth a tinge on the backend, and is just generally a pleasant sip from start to finish. Do yourself a favor and make sure you are ensuring a visit to an event they're pouring at, or make the drive up to Maine...it's beautiful county up there. Cheers!

Filled up my glass tonight as a cheers to & all my friends who were there for the last few days. Hope you all had a great time, and have safe travels back home. Shame I wasn't able to attend, but certainly will be back in the future. Cheers! 🥂

It's been quite quiet for me here in the digital world, but the physical realm has been a whirlwind! On that note, let's discuss this recent away stand - the “Spring Mini State-Wide World Tour”.
🍎🍎🍎
Want to start with a shout-out to my family down near Syracuse for the accommodations for two of the weekends, and for becoming fans of N/A. As well as introducing me to
🍎🍎🍎
The tour started with a toast featuring some Quebec gold from . Then off to for their Spring Cider Festival. Always good to see the crew there and to see how many people get Gennario & myself mixed up 😂. A great crowd came out despite the weather! Sold the store out of Black Widow, so my job was successful.
🍎🍎🍎
The next week was to join and in Rochester for the Great American Cider Competition . I have to make an entire separate post to properly convey everything I want to discuss about that weekend, but let me give a big congratulations to all the medal winners, and to Frank, Vikki, John and all the crew at Raise a Glass…it was great to be back there.
🍎🍎🍎
Lastly, back to the southern end of the state for the Catskills Cider Fest. Another great crowd of thirsty people showed up and showed out despite the weather. Was great to see , , and all the other participants. Plus of course I had to get a couple glasses of seminary afterwards. Also, finally copped that Treasury Pommeau. Will look great in the collection.
🍎🍎🍎
This is Glintcap week, so I hope all my friends out there enjoy the week! I'll be taking some R+R, as June is going to be big. I've not come up with a ridiculous name for it yet, but with two stops in Massachusetts, and a stop in Pennsylvania & Montreal…it's going to be a time. Hope to see many of you out and about, cheers!

While I've been pretty quiet on here recently, I've not been entirely dry. I've been working through some of the cans in my collection recently, plus some stuff I picked up on Saturday.
🍎🍎🍎
Three states, plenty of variety, but one shared theme - all bangers. Have you had anything noteworthy recently? Let me know in the comments!
🍎🍎🍎
Cheers!

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! 🥂
