Spec’s Endorsement
People who live in Houston and Austin are very fortunate to have perhaps the best liquor and wine store in the world. There are a number of smaller Spec’s all over Texas, but Austin and Houston both have one huge location that is a wonderful marriage of liquor, wine, and upscale grocery store. While the selection is unmatched, what really sets Spec’s apart is the knowledge of the staff (others might argue it is all the free samples). Today I spent a little while talking to their bourbon guy. I do not know if he was drunk or not, but he offered a wealth of information on every bourbon, American whiskey, and Canadian. Interesting tidbit: he believes Sam Houston Bourbon is dollar for dollar the best bourbon on the market. I happen to agree.
