The word honeymoon is said to come from the ancient custom of toasting the bride and groom with goblets of Mead (honey wine) and wishing them virility and fertility for the length of one full moon after the wedding. Serve this ever-popular Mead chilled as an aperitif or as a dessert wine with fresh fruit or honey cake.

Extra-dry and very refreshing, this Manzanilla can be served in place of a white wine with a meal, or as an aperitif to give your summer party a delicious twist. Bursting with crisp apple and chamomile flower, it's the ideal partner for seafood dishes or soups. Treat your guests to a pleasant surprise to kickoff your next get-together.

This wine was called a Top Ten Smart Buy by Wine Access magazine when we released the same vintage in September 29, 2007. Compared to its popular cousins, Port and Madeira, fortified Moscatel de Setúbal is relatively unknown in the wine world. Made with the Muscat grape, this wine delivers delicious aromatic intensity for little money. After you have finished nosing this delightful concoction, your palate will be greeted by apricots and honey at first sip. Enjoy with Stilton or vanilla cheesecake.
