I sent a message to them & they confirmed my suspicions. Carl (the owner) reached out to me & explained what happened & offered me a replacement bottle plus a wonderful charcuterie board with free samples. I have never been to their winery and boy I was glad that I went, a really nice & welcoming space. A must try is the 999 Broadway Dyngus Reserve, a great Easter time wine. The wine is also sold at the Broadway Market during holidays. I will definitely be going back for more!

Menu: small food menu but extensive tasting menus. Food and drinks: I went with a friend and we each got a kombucha flight (5 for $5) and split 4 handpies. All of the handpies were incredibly delicious! So buttery and tasty! We had one of each: buffalo chicken, roast beef, mushrooms, and spinach with cheese. The kombucha was also tasty and served in cute glasses. They had about 10 flavors to chose from. Seating: there are 2 person and 4 person tables, with some community seating as well. Shop: lots of New York State products in here, including jams, chips, honey, maple syrup, cider, wine, cheese, hummus, and much more! Bathroom: unisex bathroom was clean and spacious. Accessibility notes: There's a small ramp outside the entrance, but with the road construction currently in progress, there weren't any street parking spots close to the entrance. I came with an injured friend who's on a scooter, and were lucky enough that we got a spot on the side of the building and she was able to get through the sidewalk (which was also torn up in spots) to the entrance OK. Once construction is over, hopefully they can designate a street spot to handicap parking. Other than that, she was able to move around freely on her scooter in the restaurant.

I got the dragon freaking lychee and it was really tasty. Craft ciders are what they are known for, but they also have a nice variety of beers and cocktails. Really funky decor inside and a laid back vibe where you can drink, talk, and take in the sights. The owner Elise talked to us for a bit and she was really cool and friendly. She was pretty funny and i liked her kind of no bullshit attitude. Also cute little bulldog that walks around behind the bar.

I can't lie, I was definitely drawn in here by the funky colors you could see from the street. Other than the fact that they offer cider, of course. The decor here is almost something straight out of a trippy dream, and its seriously so cool! You won't find their stuff in cans at the grocery store, so I think that adds to the exclusivity of it. If it's your first time, I definitely recommend trying a flight - they have at least 12+ different kinds of ciders on tap, and the flight will give you a chance to try smaller (but not TOO small) samplings. They have a really good variety of flavors, and I loved being able to explore the menu in this way. A majority of the ciders we tried were amazing - some just weren't our taste, but I'm eager to return to sample more of the menu. This place is also dog-friendly. One of the things that made my first experience here so fun was actually OSB's "mascot", Sir Glenister, and his bull dog antics. I had the pleasure of playing fetch with him and then trying to help his owner get trash out of his mouth in a daring game of keep-away. If my dog were a dog person, I would totally bring her here! Don't sleep on OSB, even sharing space with some great restaurants and bars on that section of Main street. This place is so deserving of business.

-- A perfect WNY fall tradition!…read more Smith's Orchard Cider Mill A trip to Western New York just isn't complete without an apple-picking adventure, and my sister found a winner with Smith's Orchard Cider Mill! We went on a warm October Sunday, and while the parking lot was full, we managed to find a spot halfway down and got right into the fun. The friendly staff gave us quick instructions, handed each of us a bag, and said the magic words -- "Pick as many as you want; what you pick is yours!" Challenge accepted. Rows were clearly marked by variety, and while the first few trees looked pretty bare, a little exploring led us to a goldmine of apples -- perfect for filling our bags and taking some great pictures. My sister never hesitates to find someone to snap a photo, and with the sun shining through the orchard, it made for fantastic memories with my brother and sister. We wrapped up by waiting a few minutes to check out, but that gave us time to enjoy a cold glass of their fresh apple cider -- nothing beats that crisp WNY flavor on a Sunday morning! An absolutely perfect start to the day and a stop we'll no doubt revisit next year. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun, relaxed fall outing!

This was a little bit of a hike to get here from where we live, but well worth the trip. We planned…read morea little work bonding trip and brought our families. Note: when you put the location in maps, depending where you're coming from, it might take you to the front of the orchard, the parking lot is on the side, its grass parking and then a gravel walkway. (Please prepare accordingly). If there's no parking, I've seen people park on the street, and walk. This place is pretty hopping. We arrived at 11am and the cider/donut/checkout line did not die down. Since this was the second weekend of the season, only a handful of flavors were available: McIntosh, cortland, and daybreak Fuji. For those looking to bake: the daybreak Fuji are the best of the three as it won't reduce to mush, but the other two are great for applesauce etc. I made an apple crisp with a mix of the daybreak Fuji and the cortland, it turned out really solid. They have portapotties here and a sink to wash your hands. They do provide plastic bags for apple picking, and their cider mill dog; Cider; is "guarding" the bags. No really, she just wants to be petted and give her attention, she's insanely friendly. They do have pumpkins here for 5$ each. I didn't get one because it was too early for me and the deer would've just ate it off my lawn. You can bring your own bags to pick apples since you purchase by the weight. If you're planning to get a lot of apples, the reusable grocery bags are solid. We met at the picnic tables by the front and then walked over to the orchards to start picking apples. The apples that are not ready, are tapered off with colored plastic string rope. Each row of trees is labelled with what type they are for easy identification. We all split up and started picking apples, no rhythm or reason to it, just happily picking. Very friendly for kids to pick too as some apples hang lower. It was a very chill day and event full of happy. Post-overloading our bags with apples, we went back to the entrance where the cider/donut/checkout line did not die down. It kept moving but kept growing. We waited about 15minutes to purchase donuts slushies and pay for our apples. There are Concord grapes for purchase up front, and gallons of cider. I got six donuts and a cider slushie, a bag of Concord grapes and we had two heaping bags of apples, and we paid I believe 50$ ish for everything. Granted my bag of apples was like 20$ for how much it weighed. We used about 20-25 apples Saturday for cooking/baking/juicing, and we still have another heaping bag left. Probably going to make some sort of bread and maybe a pie. Anyway. The cider slushie is so good and refreshing, I wish I had ordered two up front because that line did not die down. They had so many folks working the counter though that it kept moving which shows you how much traffic the place was receiving. But also to show you to appreciate the business and the work that goes into every weekend event. The cinnamon sugar fry cake donuts I ordered six, ate three there, and three on way home/at home. They were piping hot when we got them, so insanely fresh. Delicious. It was a really fun afternoon of at your leisure bonding.
