In the southeastern section of Michigan we're pretty much limited to the same old cheap commercial meads no matter where you go. A couple years ago I found a bottle of Jadwiga mead (Apis) in the Merchant of Vino located in Dearborn, MI on Michigan Ave but haven't been able to get there again during business hours because of how far away I live etc. So, I've had every party store I can find look for some decent meads. Jadwiga being the one I really want. Well, now I've got a source for it and it's located in Livonia, MI on Plymouth road. The store is called The Wine Barrel Plus and it's owned by a guy named Mark. If you live in the area check them out. They have a decent home brew section as well as the regular stock items... Here's their web address: http://winebarrel.com/
