The next trip to Trader Joe's I picked up another 5 gal of apple juice. It sat in the pantry for several months and SWMBO was getting tired of it taking up space and kept reminding me of the expiration date. She finally got on my last nerve so 11pm (you're not going to do that now are you?!) I cleaned out my fermentation keg, dumped all 5 gal of juice in and pitched some Red Star Cote des Blancs yeast. Put my spunding valve on at 10PSI, let it ferment for a day at room temp then stuck it in the keezer at 68 deg F. I checked on it about 2 weeks later and it was still cranking away. Yesterday was the 28 day mark, no more gas coming off so I pulled a sample to see what it looked & tasted like. It was clear as glass, and crisp with a nice carbonation. It tastes like it's ready now and actually better than the previous batch. Didn't have time to chill a larger sample or take a SG reading. I think the Cote des Blancs is going to be my go to yeast for cider for now on.
