Chrissie Manion Zaerpoor, author of The Art of Mead Tasting and Food Pairing, joins the show this episode. If you're into the culinary culture, love to cook and make mead at home, this is a "must-have" book to go with your best cookbooks. She has tasted meads and foods from all over the world, and owns the first, and maybe only, world mead bottle shop in Yamhill, Oregon. She was a founding director of the American Mead Makers' Association, and is a multi-time medalist at the Mazer Cup. We'll also discuss barrel aging and we'll reach into the mail bag.
