May 22, 2014, Healdsburg, CA – Sonoma Cider is pleased to announce the launch of its draft portfolio
of three ciders and the company’s first official brand ambassador, Ronnie Vannucci,
Jr., drummer for American rock band, The Killers. Additionally, Sonoma Cider continues to sign
distribution partners, having recently completed agreements with Republic National Distributing
in Texas, Southern Wine and Spirits in Nevada, Click Wholesale in Washington State and
Advintage Distributing in South Carolina.
According to Cidermaster and CEO, David Cordtz, "The hard cider category continues to grow
rapidly, and we are excited to support this movement with expanded market coverage and our
draft ciders. The association with Ronnie, a Las Vegas native, who has been an enthusiastic
supporter of our mission, will give us a terrific boost as we enter the Nevada market and help us
connect with like-minded music fans across the country.”
VP Sales Fred Einstein noted, “Sonoma Cider on draft provides a unique on-premise
experience and trial opportunities for new consumers. Kegs are now available in California
including San Mateo, Marin, San Francisco, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Sonoma and
Ventura; plus Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington. In time, draft will become available in
Sonoma Cider’s wider distribution network, which now totals 27 distributors in 17 markets.”
Sonoma Cider is available in both 5.16 gal. and 15.5 gal. kegs in each of three flavors: The
Hatchet blends sweet and tart apple varietals to ideal effect; The Pitchfork is apple based,
infused with essence of pear; and the Anvil spikes apple cider with a measure of barrel-proof
bourbon flavor. Sonoma Ciders are certified USDA organic, made with all-natural, gluten-free
ingredients and distinctive proprietary flavors. Trade support materials include custom tap
handles, proprietary pint glasses, coasters and metal signage.
