Hi Cyserman and all other Nashville Wine/Mead makers,

Was hoping to meet some makers of wine and or mead
from the Nashville Area. I've been making Meads for
about 1.5 years now and have several in the bottle.

Blueberry Melomel
Blueberry Sack Cyser
Orange Melomel
Peach Melomel

I also have a Chocolate-Rasberry in bulk aging Due
to be bottles in the near future. Of the four in bottles
I'm happy with three and hopeful the 4th will improve.

In particular I'm interested in having a Wine tasting
with other makers of wines and especially meads/cysers.
I'd like feedback on my results as well as tasting
some results by others. Especially looking for people
with some experience judging said meads who could
teach the attendees (me) just a little about the process.

With the possible exception of an experience competition
judge, I'm looking for people that will contribute to the
list of home wines being tasted.

My rough goal is to host this gathering in late January.

P.S. Recently Vicky Rowe, meadwench and proprietor of
www.gotmead.com has been seen in this area working
her dayjob. Vicky if you can make this gathering anytime
in the next couple months we'll adjust the rough schedule
accordingly.

Vicky Rowe can't make it right away so we'll have another one when she can.

Currently we have firm commitments from 3 meadmakers each bringing 2+
varieties, and probable commitments from 4 others.

Send me email for more details if you want to participate in this gathering
with a mead or non grape wine of your own.
