Who Is Joe Mattioli?

[NoSnob]

Joe Mattioli is credited with coming up with the classic ancient orange mead recipe which it seems the multitudes start with & then jump off from there. I even have a batch now fermenting, my first mead effort.

Hope I don't sound like the kid on Two And a Half Men who asked "Who Is This Vod Kanokers"?, but

Who is this Joe Mattioli? What do we REALLY know about him & where is he today?

My first mead was a a 2 gallon batch using his recipe. Still have an unopened bottle that just turned 2 years old. IMHO, I could have used some acid to it but I was a very green wine maker 2 years ago. Still have a lot to lean which I do every day from here, friends and experimenting.

Here he is.

He's not very active, his last post seems to have been about 9 months ago.

Whether he has any notoriety outside the mead world, I don't know. Just that he developed a couple of good, basic and relatively quick compared to others recipes.
