New England Cider Company in Wallingford, Connecticut, is the sort of place that makes you wonder whether apples ever felt safe before they were turned into something so delicious. The staff are not only friendly; they actually know their craft, answering questions about fermentation times and apple varieties with the enthusiasm of a kid in a candy shop (they’ve clearly spent more time with orchards than most people spend on their phones).
