Does anyone have any recommendations for mead? These are the available meads at my local Total Wine:

I know nothing about mead, but I'd buy B. Nektar Necromangocon based on the name alone. That's a great name.

That's probably the one I'm going to be having! It's easy to get around these parts.

Well I just finished buying a bottle of Chaucer's because a) I'm poor and b) the selection at my shitty local liquor cellar involved three options.

Also apparently I have to heat the Chaucer's on a skillet while soaking the spice bag that came with the bottle, and that's really cool.

I tried Chaucer's once, a long time ago.

Once.

I'll be joining you in the Chaucers. So you plan on adding the spices?

Oh without a doubt, heating it is half the fun.

Or all of the fun, according to briandmeyers.
