Mead makers
win the silver
Mountain Meadows Mead in
Westwood participated in the
Mazer Cup International
Mead ComPetition once again,
which takes place annually in
Boulder, Colo. This year the
event was held Friday and
Saturday, April 1 - 2.
According to Ron Lunder,
owner of Mountain Meadows
Mead with his wife Peggy
Fulder, it was the largest
competition to date with 52
meaderies entered and a total
of 227 meads in the commer-
cial competition.
Honeymoon Nectar pro-
duced at Mountain Meadows
Mead won the silver medal in
the Sweet Traditional Mead
category. This is the seventh
medal the mead has won in
nine international competi-
tions. They include four gold
medals, two silver medals and
one bronze.
The judging took place
Friday with the commercial
meads evaluated by panels of
three to five meadmakers and
experienced wine and beer
judges. Five to seven meads
were judged in each flight. In
the larger categories, two or
three meads from a flight were
pushed to the next level of
competition.
Lunder and Fulder helped
judge categories in which they
did not have mead entered.
Friday evening there was a
special tasting of award-
winning meads paired with
foods. The event featured
meads that had won gold
medals in the previous Mazer
Cup Competition. Honeymoon
Nectar was paired with
Camembert and Gorgonzola
on baguettes brushed with
olive oil, and Cranberry Mead
was paired with curried sweet
potato in honey-brushed,
baked filo rolls.
Fulder spent Saturday
morning judging the home-
brew meads and there were
200 entries in the amateur
competition. That evening the
dinner and awards ceremony
was held. During this event
bottles from the competition
were set out on tables for
sampling.
After the awards ceremony,
meadmakers brought out
special favorite bottles to
share. Lunder was impressed
by a Honey:Maple Liqueur
and an Apple Ice-wine pro-
duced by meadmaker Andre
Abi Raad, from Intermiel in
Quebec, Canada. Also of notice
was a barrel-aged buckwheat.
+ honey mead by meadmaker
John Bryans, from Ontario,
Canada. Lunder poured his
Honey Liqueur.
