I like mead, in fact before I tasted my first mead all the wine had
ever had tasted yucky. Perhaps I grew into the taste or perhaps my Dad
just pickd wines that I didn't like (I'm betting the later as he picks
very dry wines and I'm not a fan of dry wines). Once I did a little
checking inot mead I realized that I had to learn a bit about wine. Then
a friend served BBQ Steak and Rosemont Estates Australian Shiraz 2000;
now I drink wine (and enjoy it, though mead does still hold a special
place in my heart, and on my kitchen counter...). I recommend you
atleast take a look at some mead recipies and perhaps buy a commercial
mead or two just to see what they are like.
