Mead the second
Just to keep up with the tastings:

Last night we sampled Wild Harvest, which is definitely a desert wine. Very sweet, and not at all to my taste... but both Carmen and Ryan enjoyed it a lot. Got indifferent sipping from Clara, but she worked away at a brandy snifter for a while. Has a bit of an alcoholic fruit syrup flavour, which I might appreciate if I was eating something like vanilla ice cream at the time.
We only have two bottles left to try now, The Cyser (An apple mead, apparently Dry, so it will probably be the most Wine-Like of the bunch) and the 'Mead of Inspiration' (off dry) which contains organically grown and/or wild-crafted salal berries, elderberries, blackberries, oregon grapes, rosehips, arbutus berries, black and red currants, cherries and grapes, as well as herbs and botanicals too numerous to mention As well as a wicked quote by Odin on the bottle.
And then it's time for me to convince someone to go in on another order with me. 8D I wouldn't mind picking up a couple more of the cranberry (I still have another bottle of the Alpenglow sitting on top of my fridge... waiting to pounce...)
