I'm sure I'll be free at some point... I work just 3 or 4 nights a week (12 hour shift 6 pm to 6 am) I have every other Friday, Saturday, Sunday Off.

Eager to meet up somewhere for a Mead tasting (I will actually have more to try this time Wrath). I was thinking that, if possible, we could meet up at a Meadery to add that tasting into the trip. Spurgeon Vineyards is sort of in the middle (a bit further for you Pewter), but this may be a good place to meet up for a tour, followed by our own little tasting event.

Let's PM each other and see what can be arranged.

I was thinking about using the Extra light or Blueberry for that maple Honey mead above.

Honey stored and packaged without heating above 100 degrees

That's what I like to hear!!! What type did you end up getting?

I'd like to try the blueberry.

I'm picking up a pail of Blueberry for 90. He said they never go above 100 degrees and all that they do is strain the honey. Seems like a real good deal and I don't have to pay for shipping!

Let us know you you like the company and the BB honey? I'm probably a 1.5 hour drive from there...

Good call! I like to buy local, unrefined honeys whenever possible. I'm also a big fan of blueberry honey. I consider it nice and full-bodied, buttery and with a sophisticated fruitiness.
 
Well I just got back from MVA (http://www.bostonhoneystore.com/MVAwholesalehoney.htm) to pick up my 60 lb. pail of blueberry honey. I dealt with a guy named Wes who is a member of the family that runs the business. They have over 12000 hives throughout the east coast and run a great operation. Haven't had a chance to taste the honey yet but It was a great price and they are VERY friendly. They also said they have some type of honey available for pickup all year long. If any of you are in the Boston region, this place is a good place to get bulk, natural honey.

Thanks for the update Adam! How does the honey taste? Hints of BlueBerry?

Steve
 
Well, remember that the honey is from the blossom rather than the fruit, and while many varietal honeys have hints or character of the actual fruit, the honey will be more of a superset of the flower then the fruit.

Cheers,

Oskaar
