The meads they have in the TRF cheese shop are from out of state and can run $50-$60. That's where I got addicted to Meadery of the Rockies-Cherry and Honey mead and where I discovered Olivers.
I can't stand Thorin's. In 2011 Sherwood had Oberhoff mead too and it probably out-sold Thorin's...
When Texas Renissance Festival starts in October go there. They have several. But being a RenFest they are EXPENSIVE.
Also try oliverwinery.com. They do ship to Texas. Their Camelot mead is basic but look for their 'Harvest Flavors'. Those are flavored honey-wines.
There will be a mead...
