I voted! Can we vote more than once?

Maybe it would help to explain who this is and why we should help?

Melovino Meadery is a local mead-maker based in Millburn Road off Vauxhall Road. They're lovely people and they make a great product out of honey. It looks like they're trying to a get a grant from Chase, which would allow them to expand/enhance their operations. I like those guys a lot, so I voted.

I cut and pasted the FB request for help so I apologize about the full explanation that was missing- my bad! but thank you ridski !

You can only vote once and each small business needs at least 250 votes to be considered. Many thanks to those who have voted- I see thru the SO Rescue Squad that it can make a difference!

by law, Melovino is a winery...so there is an actual, licensed winery 5-10 minutes from most of us. 75% of the honey they use is from New Jersey, so if drinking local is something that appeals to you, its an excellent way to do so. They are also the first commercial meadery in New Jersey. Having talked with him just last week as I was sampling meads to use with my collaboration with The Able Baker for Girls Night Out in Maplewood, he wants to expand because he can only make enough product to sell for his tastings and retail sales at the meadery and doesn't have enough to have distributed through a greater retail network. Good guy, good business.

It's great. I'd recommend gathering some friends and going for a tour/tasting. It's fascinating, and the product, made from honey and often incorporating different flavors, it sweet, but not sickly. Some of the meads they make remind me of sherry, in fact.

And you have license to go berserk after consuming large amounts of mead.
