Enlightenment Wines Meadery

We have been ordering the mead wines for some time now. We highly recommend them and especially liked the last three Jammed Up, Packing Heat and The High Hat.

I subscribe to their mead CSA program and have a selection of their fantastic meads shipped to me in FL on a quarterly basis. I got a new batch before the holidays and shared them with friends--I'm leaving a review because of how happy everyone was to drink these artful bevs. Raise the Roof is always a banger; Dagger has been great for both sipping and cocktail inclusions as a drier amaro; I like the Athanor for its tawny port-like qualities despite typically being disinterested in all things whisky-barreled; and the Umbra bottle I took to be a lovely variation on the fundamentals of Raise the Roof, pushing the effervescence higher, lightening the overall pallet and showcasing the near-savory aftertaste of the yeast, all perfect for New Years. I consistently get comments from friends who I crack these open with, that they were apprehensive when mead was mentioned because of their previous experiences with flat-flavored and cloyingly sweet meads, but loved what was poured. While of course on the out-there side for some staunch grape wine drinkers, everyone with an adventurous streak has loved your products. Some visiting New Yorkers will likely be stopping by Honey's on their return to The One Great City. I also wanted to mention the foraged apple mead and dandelion bitters meads from the prior set--both were beloved. Check these guys out, and they ship perfectly well.

OMG ITS SO CUTE the drinks are very well balanced and the selection of wines are delightful 😊
