Manhattan Meadery's Second Vintage

Manhattan Meadery starts its second vintage! We've gotten such a great reception to our first vintage that it's time for another. We've just added another new wine store, Frankly Wines in TriBeCa, and the great media exposure just keeps coming with a new write up in the Village Voice. All this momentum means we're going to run out of our first vintage well before our second is ready for release. But that's a good problem to have!

Our signature dry honey wine is truly a unique product. There's nothing out there like it. It's a dry honey mead made from local New York State artisinal honey that has the same body as wine but an aroma and flavor profile unlike anything you've tasted. Some people think it tastes like heather and wintergreen, others say it's more like spun gold.

The recipe is a secret, but here are some pics. When is the last time you saw a few thousand pounds of honey?
One secret that can be revealed is that we're using raspberry honey for this vintage. Grocery store honey is pretty monotonous and bland, but artisnal honey has flavors that vary drastically. Honey harvested from happy bees will taste different depending on whether they're visiting apple blossoms versus almond blossoms or any other blossom. For the same reason, spring honey will taste different from fall honey because there are different flowers in blossom. Come try a bottle of Brooklyn Buzz for a local, sustainable, all natural product that is unlike any wine you've ever had. Don't forget to thank a honeybee as well, the hardest working domesticated animal on earth. In fact it take about 2.5 million stops of a bee to a flower to make one bottle of our mead.
