| When the Allied Forces liberated Normandy after the D-Day invasion, many happy citizens raced into their backyards, dug up the wooden cases of Calvados they had buried and gave bottles to or shared them with the passing troops. In advance of Remembrance Day (November 11th), as a tribute to the veterans of all our wars, we are refeaturing this Calvados that we first released in March 2002. |
