Honey Wine

I'm a conservative shopper. When I buy something, I tend to stick to what I already know such as books from my favorite authors, shirts with my favorite color, or wines from my favorite producers.
On the other hand, JC enjoys unexpected encounter.
He is curious, especially when it comes to food & drink.

The other day we happened to find a tasting booth at Whole Foods (organic super market).
I usually just pass by these events, but JC wanted to try, especially when he saw it was a little unexpected drink. It was mead.

Mead is an alcoholic drink made by fermenting honey. It is not a very popular drink now, but has very long history.
I didn't expected a lot from this ancient honey wine, but it was surprisingly good!
It was dry but had the flavour of honey without stickiness.

Honey, caramel, dried fruit, herb and rancio-like quality, which reminds me of the oxidized wine from south France, or even Koshu (aged sake).
It feels rich but smooth,

Another good thing is that it would last for a month in a fridge after opening the bottle, in case if you want to enjoy this slowly.
