Craft cider fans, rejoice: A new site has
just made it much easier to buy high-
quality , small-batch bottlings straight
from the makers themselves. Cider in
Love , the brainchild of former cosmet-
ics executive Annie Bystryn , sources
directly from independent producers ,
many of whom have never before sold
their products to a national audience.
Even better, the platform tells the
story of these heritage cideries —from
Tilted Shed Ciderworks in Windsor,
Cali fornia , to Alpenfire Cider in Port
Townsend, Washington —who use
heirloom and wild apples to reflect the
region’s terroir and dedicate them-
selves to expressing their connection
to the land. ciderinlove.com.

HOME ACCESSORY

An olive-scented candle in a terra-cotta vessel seems particularly apropos for

October —and the hand-poured Terra collection ($42 ) from P.F. Candle Co. pro-

vides even more utility by turning into a breathable small planter for

greenery after the soy wax is gone. Cofounder Kristen Pumphrey likes

to fill hers with pothos and heartleaf philodendron cuttings. Follow

the brand on Twitter (@pfcandleco) to keep track of its vintage

Shasta trailer boutique , which pops up regularly at Southern

California events, before the flagship store opens in L.A.’s

Echo Park neighborhood. pfcandleco.com.

2 BOTTLES TO TRY NOW

2014 Barred Rock Barrel-Aged

Cider , Tilted Shed Ciderworks ($16) :

“Oak-aged for notes of whiskey barrels

and vanilla—a perfect pairing to a fresh

crisp apple,” says Bystryn.

Dry Cider , Snowdrift Cider Co. (East

Wenatchee, WA; $16 ): “Delicate and

fermented in the English style, with hints

of citrus and toffee.”
