36 分钟Andi and Miquita's Aberdeenshire journey begins at The Wee Scottish Cider Company, where they meet Christian Stolte, a former oil industry worker turned master cider maker. In his converted steading, Christian reveals the intricate champagne method behind his award-winning Seidear cider, transforming apples from Scottish castle gardens through a meticulous two-year process that rivals traditional champagne production. The adventure continues as they join Tara Spiers and her River Dee Damsels, a community breaking new ground in the traditionally male-dominated world of fly fishing. After experiencing the meditative rhythm of casting in the historic River Dee, they witness nature's raw power at the Falls of Feugh, watching Atlantic salmon leap upstream. Their day concludes with a serendipitous discovery - Kenyan-born chef John Chomba's restaurant, where Scottish ingredients meet French technique in an unexpected celebration of Aberdeenshire's diverse food culture.

This trip to Scotland really was extraordinary.
Nikita.
This particular day was possibly one of.
My favorite days this year.
I would say there were moments of actual genius.
There were some of the most delicious things I've had in many, many a moon.
Incredible people at every turn.
And the first of them was that love, Christian.
Yes.
We start our day up a hill behind a castle, of course, surrounded by apples, in Christian's kind of lab, if you will.
And when he wasn't trying to make mother his sort of third wife, he taught us how to make cider.
And it was the most incredible process.
And the taste of this cider, it was like orange champagne.
Really.
Wasn't it just astonishing the way they make it?
First of all, we had fresh apple juice like we've never had before.
And then we had this incredible cider that was literally like the most delicious champagne you've ever had.
So Christian and the wee Scottish cider company happened.
