Chelsey and Ben of Benny Boy are fermentation enthusiasts – they specialize in old-world methods of brewing and cider-making, so when the potential for collaboration was mentioned, we were all over the moon. They sent us Newtown Pippen apples grown on File Mile Orchard in Watsonville on trees planted by generations past, and we sent them Pinot Noir skins that they would upcycle and use for their part of the collab. Our Piece: Chardonnapple – A fruit-wine co-ferment of estate-grown Chardonnay and Newtown Pippen Apples with natural bubbles!
