365: Red; February 19, Honey

This is mead. More specifically, this is spiced honey wine. My eldest daughter and I discovered this stuff about four years ago at an annual wine tasting thing that happens in our city. It is divine. With a roast chicken dinner, it is even diviner.

It's not for sale in our province, however, so when I heard two of our good friends were in Kelowna, where it is produced, I availed myself of social media of the Facebook variety and made a public plea for our friends to please bring us some back.

The fun part is our friends happened to arrive at this meadery, Meadow Vista Honey Wines the very day they opened the doors of their new location and our friends made the first purchase in that location. So that was a good deed done.

Mead is one of the most ancient produced liquids in the world, along with beer. Just on the basis of having been drunk for many, many centuries, it has to be good.
