How do I buy mead in the US?

[amh0576]

Okay, so I know that mead is not wine, but I hope that someone here will be able to help me regardless.

I tried to buy a few bottles of Lindisfarne Mead from their web site, and I was told that it is illegal to import mead into the US.

Is that true, and if so, is there a legal way to purchase it? I've looked at a few wine brokers, but I haven't found any that sell it.

thanks,

It shouldn't be illegal to import Mead into the US...actually, its perfectly legal, at least in my state. The beer shop I frequent also has large selection of meads (the owner is an enthusiast and brewer of mead). I tasted a wonderful 25 year old Polish mead with him a while back. Its just unlucky that you live in one of those backwards east coast and southern states.
