The Village Voice even says so. Check out this great profile of our wine share vendor, Raphael Lyon of Enlightenment Wine in Ulster County.
By the way, I emailed Raphael to ask him about the shelf life of the mead. I’m the only one in my house who will be drinking it, and as a mom of two I don’t think I should be polishing off a whole bottle with my dinner. So I wanted to know if it would last for a few days, or if it would go flat like Champagne or prosecco. He wrote:
“My meads, while natural (I don’t use sulfites) actually are surprisingly stable- more so than grape wines. A week in the fridge should be fine for any bottle. Some can survive for much longer without much noticeable change. I think honey based alcohol is just more stable for some reason.”
I’m looking forward to (slowly) drinking up!
