Today The Man of the House and I bottled four gallons of mead. Mead is a wine that’s made with honey instead of fruit. (You can get the details on making mead at WashingtonWinemaker.com.)

It’s difficult to describe the taste of mead. I can only tell you that a well-done sweet mead is one of my favorite wines.  After tasting the sweet mead one of our friends said, “When that aroma hits you it makes you so happy that you want to run outside and roll around in the grass.”

He’s right. That’s what it’s like.
