Currant-Lee
Tastings.com, Rating 85
Maybe the family of fruits knows as Grossulariaceae is unfamiliar to you. Maybe it’s the “gross” inside that doesn’t make you go running to the supermarket for a late-night snack, until now. Black currants are very overlooked and extremely tasty, with sweet, earthy notes. Zante English Currants and Madagascar Vanilla.

Pucker-Up-Baby
Tasting.com rating of 93
Inspired by a wonderful traditional Caribbean drink (and soup), Pucker-Up-Baby combines Jamaincan sun-dried Hibiscus (aka Sorrel) with whole Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla beans for a nicely tart, slightly dry, deep ruby red concoction. For those of you who prefer a more classic red wine but look for less acid, less dryness and less sulfites ------- this is a well balanced, full body answer for you. Prepare to Pucker Up........."

Overly-Hoptimistic
Maybe we are, maybe we are not, but this wine surely tastes like a beer. After trying manydifferent types of hops we stumbled upon a rare Australian variety call “Galaxy”. One taste and we were hooked. Craftwine that comes across like a craft beer—craft awesome! We found this robust, unique hop adds notes of peach and pineapple and grapefruit and a nice light carbonation that is close to champagne than beer. This gluten-free alternative to traditional beer is turning heads!!!

Black-302

A special combination of Triple Crown blackberries (sourced locally from Delaware, hence the 302), black
raisins and black currants. Bronze medal Mead Free or Die 2017. We combine all the best "blackish" berries we can find to make a turbocharged fruit flavor with a local twist. Melding fresh black currants, black raisins and locally grown blackberries we made a truly unique bold but tart flavor profile. This is also our first collaboration with a local organic farm and many thanks to the folks at Berry Good Farm in Hockessin Delaware for allowing us to pick over 200 pounds of raw Triple Crown Blackberries in the last 2 seasons to make our amazing mead. Drink Natural, Drink Local.

Thai-Grrr
Tasting.com rating 92
When you hear the word Tiger you think strong, bold, aggressive, but also graceful, sleek, stealthy. A
celebration of home-grown Thai Chili peppers mixed with fresh lime creates a pretty innocent looking but powerful little concoction. Don’t assume this light colored liquid is light in flavor. If you prefer more purr than growl add some orange juice and serve at your next brunch.

Ground & Tapped
Tastings.com, 93 rating
So what are the 2 best drinks you can have in a day-coffee in the mornings and mead in the evenings (well that is our favorite evening drink). We here at LAB got together with Peter from our local Pike Creek Roasters and combined some robust Guatemalan and Peruvian beans that were freshly roasted and we cold-brew slowly to extract the bold flavor without the bitterness and acidity. We then decided to go a step further and add another early-morning ingredient fresh "REAL"maple syrup the good stuff fresh from northern New York from a family owned farm with Delaware connections, for just a twinge of sweetness and almost a bit of creaminess to accentuate the coffee flavor.

Red, White & Blueberry
In the early development of what would be the United States, the color white signified purity and innocence, red, hardness and valor, and blue vigilance, perseverance and justice. These colors and values still resonate today and we honor them with a bright, fruity and refreshing smooth blend fresh local cranberries, coconut and local blueberries, including local blueberry honey from New Jersey. Red, White & Blueberry is a lightly carbonated sparking session mead, but still has tons of flavor. It is the perfect lighter mead for warm summer days (and nights)
