We’re now well into October, so I thought it would be good to recap our September experiences with a quick month in review. The mini challenge we set for the blog has concluded successfully: Review 30 wines (or wineries) in the 30 days of September. As a refresher, the month of September is North Carolina Wine and Grape month. It is a time where the wineries and vineyards in the state are recognized for their contributions. Our goal was to feature a wine or winery each day and write-up a little review of the selection we made. In total we reviewed 28 North Carolina Wines and 8 North Carolina Wineries.

Mead Making Starrs
This episode features Ben and Becky Starr of Starrlight Mead in Pittsboro, NC! Ben and Becky caught the mead making bug after falling in love with it at a Renaissance faire. For the past 8 years, Ben and Becky have been building up their business and refining their mead making skills.
They like meads with big bold flavors and surprising flavor combinations. Visit the brand new Mead Hall and you’ll find the expected off-dry traditional and semi-sweet to flavors more exotic like a Kickin’ Cranberry Orange (perfect for the holiday table and Ben’s favorite) and other fruit and herb infused meads.
