MAZER CUP MEAD COMPETITION UPDATE 
This years competition was a smashing success.  80 meads were 
entered in 8 categories.  The largest categories (again) were melomel  
and traditional.  The smallest was Hippocras with no entries.  Philip  
Fleming of Colorado took best of show with his chocolate mint metheglin.  
This was a truly outstanding example of balance between all three  
components: mint, chocolate and honey.  I might add that we had  
several commercial entries as well although none of them placed  
in any category.  Congratulations Phil.  Thanks to all the judges and  
stewards who helped make this a smoothly run competition, and  
thanks to all the contestants.  Those of you who won something can  
expect your mazer within a week or two, as soon as they are finished.  
Last I heard they were scheduled to be fired and glazed this week.   
Best of Show will have a gold finish.  Hey...I want one too!
