Columbia Gorge says: Unparalleled in the world of apple ciders. We blend several different kinds of apples to achieve the tart yet sweet flavor of this cider. Making it from soil-enriched grown organic apples is the best way to taste the real apple flavor.

Abi Says: In Washington State, Fall means apples and apples mean cider. Okay, cider and apple sauce and deliciously cinnamony pies. But this is not a pie blog.

During a six-day visit to Seattle I figured that I’d just drink my way across every coffee shop in town. This is a good idea in theory, but in actuality it means jitters, possible tooth stains, and peeing all the freaking time.

In order to avoid the uncomfortable side-effects of diuretics, every noontime I switched to juices. Sometimes it was the blackberry version of an Izze sparkling soda and other days I turned to one of these adorable bottles of juice from the Columbia Gorge Juice Company.

The organic cider was lighter and clearer than I expected, a forewarning that the drink would exhibit few of the qualities of farm-fresh pressed cider. Columbia Gorge delivers a refreshing drink, made simply with organic apples. However, their cider walks a line between juice and true cider.

So, if you’re looking for something to mull with spices and wine, or spike with a bit of Jack Daniels and you have lots of cash to burn, you can’t go wrong with this cider.

    Dear Columbia Gorge:

    Your juices are fabulous,especially the organic orange and the organic bee/carrot/celery juice. I am looking for stores which sell your juice in the Seattle area. I also need your business address and phoine # so I can fill out a product request card for QFC Markets; I want them to start selling your juice. I work on a National Oceanographic (Noaa) research vessel and travel up and down the West Coast from Washington to CAlifornia so why don’t you give me a list of the stores which carry you juice for Port Angeles, WA,Astoria, Oregon, San Francisco and San Diego.
    Thankyou very much. Linda Halderman .

    I had this yesterday, hoping that it would be like the true ciders I had in Pennsylvania the previous week.

    It tasted like watered down applesauce.

    It tasted like cooked apples, not fresh apples. The crispness was lost.

    I wouldn’t say it was bad, but I didn’t really wanna finish it.

    However, I did have their ginger/pear/apple cider too and liked it a lot.
