Tandem Ciders celebrated its Grand Opening on Saturday, and you couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day! Looks like proprietors Nikki Rothwell and Dan Young would agree. We've been enjoying their sweet cider all weekend, and they make the hard stuff too. Head out to 2055 North Setterbo Rd, just north of Suttons Bay. They're open Wed-Sat, 11-7, and Sun 12-5.
