This last weekend was a very busy weekend for me as I spent most of Saturday helping out at the Tour de Cure race in Phoenix. I was running drag for the 100-mile race follow the last racers in my car for the entire route at the pace of the slowest biker. This left me little time for bottle my Blackberry Melomel that was sitting at home patiently waiting for me. So, to make up for neglecting my mead, I spent Sunday afternoon racking my Bochet and bottling up the Blackberry Melomel. When sampled for quality control, I met both my wife’s and my approval and we both look forward to emptying a bottle in a couple of months after it’s had a chance to age.
