White Winter Winery

To Mead or not to Mead wasn’t really a question at White Winter Winery in Iron River, Wisconsin yesterday. We pulled in, spoke with our hostess, who was expecting us as part of the Harvest Hosts program, got ourselves situated behind their building, met our fellow guests and headed around front to enjoy some mead. This time honored beverage crafted from honey, water, and yeast, has been the passion of Jon and Kim for more that twenty-five years now. Sitting under a canopy in front of the meadery we enjoyed a lovely late July Wisconsin afternoon getting to know Dennis & Laure and learning about the various meads and mead based spirits crafted here. We truly enjoyed the Dark Mead. For seconds, Karen kicked it up a notch with some Ass Kickin’ Apple Jalapeño Spirits! Then after closing, Jon, the meadmaster kicked it up another notch and gave us a tour of the cidery/distillery. The party then moved out back when Jon & Kim toured our T@B 400 and Dennis & Laure’s camper of similar size, an Intech Sol. Still not ready to pack it in, we set up chairs outside and spent a few more hours in conversation with with our fellow tiny camper travelers. This is a visit the two of us will be talking about for a long time!
