How exciting! Brand new on the main drag of Carnegie, Apis Mead and Winery brings an old art form to Pittsburghers. I'm not much of a connoisseur when it comes to Mead, but owner Dave Cerminara has made it very accessible to the average joe. Delightfully full of flavors, the six different types he had were all made available to us for tasting. There's everything from the light and refreshing summer taste of Peach Apricot to the bold Sangiovese Dorsata, which has a more powerful and rich flavor. Dave is so sincere and ready to share the process of starting this business and the fine art of mead-making. We had a lovely time just chatting.
I love the aesthetic of this location, too. They have mixed rustic and contemporary to make the space warm and inviting. Plenty of places to sit and relax, and you are encouraged to bring your own food to enjoy! If you find yourself hungry and without food, Apis is located within footsteps of plenty of local fare.
Rock on, Pittsburgh!
