Among other attractive offerings: Cyderworks cyderworks.com in Portland, Ore., produces a dry blend with a distinct chalkiness. Great ciders for wine geeks are the ones from Farnum Hill farnumhillciders.com in New Hampshire. Caution: Farnum Hill's bone-dry, tannic ciders do best with a hunk of cheddar or even a kasha knish. The maker has just released Summer Cider, an easy drinker, lemony and a bit smoky. Its name is an excellent reminder that lovely cider...
