Join us on this very special episode of the Naked Wine Pod as we welcome Nathan Wagner, an amateur home hard cider brewer. Not only is he Kendra's amazing father, but as it turns out, he's quite knowledgeable on the topic of home brewing! So take a listen, grab your organically farmed fruit off your property (or organic via neglection as Nathan coined it hehe), and start experimenting with your own homemade brew! The same pillars of natural wine still apply, no yeast and additives necessary to make something deliciously wholesome :)

What we drank:

3 different batches of homemade hard apple cider from Nathan Wagner & friends up at the Lord's Land in Mendocino County, CA
