On Saturday Wine Time in Fort Wayne had a tasting for New Day Meadery of Elwood, Indiana. Saturday was cold, windy, and drizzling, and Wine Time has their tastings outside. But no hardship is too great to prevent tasting wine!
Mead is wine made from honey. It can be dry or sweet. Dry mead without anything added looks like white wine, but has a distinctive earthy/honey taste to it.
New Day had 4 meads to taste; a pure dry mead, a dry mead with peaches, a dry mead with blueberries, and a dry mead with red raspberries. New Day gets their fruit from our own local Blueberry Acres, just east of Churubusco.
The meads were all splendid. They were professionally crafted products, clear with no off-flavors. I particularly enjoyed the fruit meads. If you like red raspberries the red raspberry mead was bursting with raspberry flavor.
I brought home a blueberry mead.
Looks like a rosé, doesn’t it? And like a rosé it tastes best with just a little chill to it.
New Day Meadery – cheers!
