Based out of Salem Oregon, Honeywood churns out decent low priced wines that give a good bang for the buck. A few months ago I stumbled upon their blackberry mead. I didn't expect much for $12.99 at a Bi-Mart, but I was not disappointed in the least. I have been making mead and beer for around 20 years, and in that time have become what some might consider a snob, or elitist. Nonetheless, this is a fine mead for the price. It's clean, crisp and sweet. If you come across this, you might like it. I bought out every Bi-Mart in Eugene of this stuff, and found the last bottle today. Hope you all are well.

I’ve been making my own homemade drinks for a few years now, and I’m usually very particular about what’s sold in supermarkets often, they just stuff them full of artificial flavorings instead of using real berries. But blackberries combined with honey provided the fermentation is done right create a truly superb, refreshing taste with a pleasant, tangy edge. After a long work week, when I want to sit back and relax, I like to pour myself a glass of this and read through the interesting articles and useful content over at https://holyspinplay.com/. You can always find something positive there to help you unwind and get into the right mood for some downtime. It’s a great way to completely switch off from the daily grind. I totally get why you bought up everything on the shelves; if I were in your shoes, I’d have done exactly the same thing.
Have you tried drinking this beverage chilled, or does it reveal its qualities better at room temperature?
