As extreme weather events become increasingly common, how will apples fare? Will the taste of cider evolve? We return to the labs at Cornell University to get a crash course from our  favorite pomologist in apple genetics, biodiversity, and climate change. Find out how studying (and growing) historic apple varieties can change the future of the cider industry and tune in for a conversation about the importance of preserving cherished aspects of apple culture. Plus, we’ll look at co-ferments, food pairings, and how drinkers are connecting with the land around them.
