Episode 499 of Cider Chat looks at the "Omnia Era of Cider" - a time when everything is happening at once in modern cider, from traditional methods to new styles and experimentation. Using art history and the Pommes in Art story as a guide, this episode explores how we often don't realize we are living in an important era until years later. This episode serves as a pause before Episode 500, where we return to the beginning and talk about how cider is made. 00:00 Episode 499 Prelude 01:00 Chaos Then and Now 03:31 Omnia Era Explained 05:46 Art as Cider Lens 06:13 Michelangelo David 08:45 Renaissance to Cider 11:13 Arcimboldo Fruit Portraits 13:35 Pomona and Vertumnus 16:35 Sack of Rome Shift 18:29 Mannerism and Omnia 23:17 Talking Pommes Banter 25:53 Looking to Episode 500 Find the full show notes and photos for Episode 499 at CiderChat.com Direct Link at: https://ciderchat.com/podcast/499-the-omnia-era-of-cider/ Listen to wherever you get your podcasts and don't forget to subscribe so you never miss what's coming next in Ciderville.
