Redstone Meadery — Attraction in Boulder

Not quite what I was expecting, this meadery (a word I didn’t know existed) is rather humble in appearance. Once we started tasting the meads we were very happy we’d taken the time to visit.

My wife and I did the full flight of all the company’s meads, and the quality of the wine was really outstanding. I’m used to being unimpressed with commercial meads, but literally every one of these meads were good to great.

The gent who served us was very knowledgeable (I am not sure, but I believe he was the owner, so not surprise he knows his stuff). We opted to pay a little extra to try the Reserve wines (peach and raspberry) and they definitely stole the show. The moment I tried the peach reserve I was in love. Since we are visiting from out of town, and have limited luggage space, and we could only buy one bottle. The Reserve is a bit more expensive ($55) but we’ll worth the $.

There was a good quantity of free tastes. As someone that doesn't enjoy wine or beer, I wasn't sure what I'd think about mead. Not surprised that I didn't much care for the lower end, short aged (months) mead - many had the hoppy taste of beer or the tannin flavor of wine (which are the reasons I don't like beer & wine). I did, however, really enjoy the (far more expensive) 7-9 year aged mead. It was much thicker, sweeter and smoother than the less aged mead. Others in my party enjoyed all of the mead (they are beer and wine officianados). It certainly gave us a new appreciation and...

I stopped by because I was in the neighborhood and I have previously enjoyed a few of their nectars elsewhere. I didn't catch his name, but the employee that helped me was very friendly and accommodating. He walked me through tastes of all the meads and honey wines. I really enjoyed everything. Generally I stay away from sweeter offerings, but here I even enjoyed the sweeter options. I ended up buying with some togo bottles, more than I should have because of such a great experience and how much I enjoyed...
