Join our conversation with Chrissie Manion Zaerpoor, author of “The Art of Mead Tasting and Food Pairing”. Chrissie shares how she started in the mead industry and the changes she’s witnessed and contributed to.

We go over some key points of the book including some brief mead history, mead tasting and of course, how to pair it with a variety of foods.
