Mead tasting

Yesterday afternoon Carl and I met Jericho and Mikey at 99 Bottles in Federal Way for a mead tasting event. It was only $2.50 per person and we sampled 4 different meads. I have to say I'm not a huge fan of mead, I find it way too sweet most of the time. The ones we tried yesterday however were really really good! We started with a dry one, then tried the semi-dry, then a semi-sweet and the sweetest one was last. The dry mead reminded me of chardonney, the sweet one was similar to a riesling. The last one was actually a raspberry mead and was really nice. The women that served us was the mead-maker and she was very informative and willing to share her knowledge of mead-making. The kids had invited another couple, Joelle and her husband Chris, to join us. They make their own beer and mead, so were taking notes as they tasted. The mead is made by Sky River Meadery and they do sell it at 99 bottles. After we finished tasting we went next door to Blue Fish for sushi. Carl has never had sushi before and he actually only ate the cooked stuff, hehe. I used to really love sushi and I did enjoy eating it again! Hmmm maybe I should consider becoming pescitarian...
