273: The Mountain & Tub | Stories in Ciderville

Wendy LeBlanc and Patrick Mann met in Washington State before moving to Germany to settle into the 1785 homestead owned by Patrick's parents. One would think that living near the 14,000 foot (4267.2 meter) mountains of the Pacific Northwest made this cidermaking couple inured to big mountains. They on the other hand blame the mountainous route over the highest peak in the Black Forest on Google maps, which considering so many other similar GPS gone wrong stories makes the most sense.

In this edition of Stories in Ciderville, we get a behind the scene  tale of life as a cidermaking couple, beginning with an adventure in a VW Golf that has a trailer attached and loaded up with barrels. Hey when a good barrel deal comes your way you can't turn it down, even if the biggest snowstorm of the year is waiting for you on the return home.

But wait it gets better, as these two makers of 1785 Cider (named after the year the home was built) share a second story of living in a multi generational household. And yes, that story involves a bathtub!
