Nine Pin's production facility and tasting room on Broadway in the Warehouse District.
Drawing's closed! Winner's been emailed!
The annual Gathering of the Farm Cideries returns to Nine Pin Cider Works in Albany this Saturday, February 18.
We have a pair of tickets for the event to give away -- maybe to you. To enter the drawing, please answer this question in the comments:
What's your favorite thing to eat when it's cold and snowy outside?
It could be something you make at home. It could be something from a local restaurant. It could be whatever. We'll draw one comment at random and that person will get the pair of tickets.
More than 15 cideries from around New York State will be at The Gathering offering samples of all sorts of cider, along with selling cider by the bottle or growler to go. (Cidery list is below.) There will also be food vendors.
Tickets are $20 ahead / $30 at the door. The event is in two sessions -- noon to 3 pm, and 4 pm to 7 pm. Tickets include samples and a tasting glass. Last year's event sold out.
Important: All comments must be submitted by noon on Wednesday, February 15, 2017 to be entered in the drawing. You must answer the question to be part of the drawing. (Normal commenting guidelines apply.) One entry per person, please. You must enter a valid email address (that you check regularly) with your comment. The winner will be notified via email by 5 pm Wednesday and must respond by noon on Thursday, February 16.

Chicken tikka masala with lots of naan. Lazeez is probably my favorite place to order from, although I am slowly working on perfecting a recipe of my own for it.

Ruck mozz sticks...mostly due to their proximity and the implication that I'll likely have a delicious beer in my hand.
