It's Mead Season!

Our mead section is growing by leaps and bounds.  We have TWO new Texas producers with product in the store this year.  Both using Texas honey to produce their many levels of mead.

Traditional ($14.99 cash price) 

Our dry mead is made with our proprietary blend of honey. It has an extraordinary light honey flavor with subdued floral notes and light flavors of lemongrass and licorice. Enjoy this mead in place of a nice glass of dry white wine. 750ml

Semi-Sweet ($14.99 cash price)
Our semi sweet mead is similar to our dry mead but with a touch of honey added to provide a sutble sweetness. 750ml

Apple ($15.99 cash price)
   This lightly flavored semi-sweet mead is a blend of honey and apples with a wonderful aroma and taste. There are also subtle aromas and flavors of vanilla, spice, and chickory. 750ml

Here at Enchanted Manor we strive to make beverages that stand out above the rest! We take pride in our "New School" approach to an Old World drink, having created wines with the perfect balance of ingenuity and tradition! What makes our Meads so unique?- a story inside of every bottle.

Our most famous mead, blended to perfection with 100% local Texas honey, is our Texas Renaissance Festival Mead. ($14.99 cash price)

Other Meads in the store are:

Enjoy Honey Mead Chilled or With Spices ($11.29)

The Mead can be enjoyed in one of two ways, either chilled or heated with spices to create a delicious wintry drink.

The Maiden Hot-Spiced Mead Recipe (using included two CHAUCER'S spice bags)

1. Pour half or full bottle of CHAUCER'S Mead into a medium-sized saucepan.
2. Drop in spice bag(s). One spice bag for half of a bottle and two spice bags for a full bottle.
3. Let the bag(s) steep over medium heat for 5-10 minutes or until Mead has reached the desired spiciness. Do not bring to a boil.
4. Remove spice bag(s) and pour hot-spiced Mead into a favorite goblet, mug or glass.

Whats Charles Drinking? #2

Traditionally as we move into the cooler months, we also make a transition from light, crisp ales to deep, rich lagers. As westerners most of us cut our teeth on lagers. Because of the prusso-texan demographic and the exemplorary craft bocks that have come from it, most of us also have some rudimentary experience with bocks. It’s a sweet spot on our tongues that is left largely unexplored. I’ve been reacquainting myself with Paulaners’ Salvator, a double bock. A hand-crafted double bock originally brewed by Italian monks living in German missions. The rich, bready, brooding bock was conceived as a means of fasting during the Lentin season, hence the ‘filling’ nature of these beers.

I like lagers--they’re simple and smooth and subtle and we have a whole lot of them up here. Chilled, in a glass. The higher alcohol by volume is expertly balanced by a careful grain bill, malt, and hop selection.

Once again the weekend is gone but,

From all here at specs we hope you had a great weekend, HOP on by and tell us about it.

What a compliment

The Decade line of Rocky Patel cigars is considered by many to be one of Patel’s greatest creations in the cigar world. The Rocky Patel Lancero is a 7in. cigar with a small ring gauge of 38. Tight packing of tobacco in the cigar gives a good draw and ensures that the Lancero stays lit.

Medium to full body with predominately earthy tones, you will taste a hint of cocoa throughout this great cigar. While the Lancero is not recommended for beginners , it should definitely be tried by any fan of Rocky Patel. If you’re looking for a way to kill an hour, this cigar is for you!

This cigar pairs well with Lepanto Viejo solera gran reserve, a brandy out of Spain that has been aged 12years in an American oak Solera system, then aged for a final 3 years in Oloroso Viejo sherry barrels.  Retaining its own personality, the brandy beautifully integrates the sherry’s character. The nose and palate displays ample cedar, dried fruit, and roasted walnuts,  which allows the Lancero and the Lepanto to complement each other in a fantastic way.
