Shop Review: “This sweet wine is light in color with
floral aromas including notes of orange blossom, jasmine and honeysuckle. Flavors include peach, melon and spice. This wine can be sipped by itself, but is
complementary to a number of foods. With
appetizers try proscuitto with melon, Brie cheese, or smoked salmon. For a main course I suggest baked ham,
grilled red snapper or chicken” (Larry Rocha, Winemaker)
My Review: OH MY GOODNESS. SO GOOD!
I tried this right after all the awful Chardonnays and the explosion of
herbs and sweetness in my mouth was orgasmic!
The smell was ethereal. It was so
fun trying to figure out what the different herb aromas might be from- Basil? Mint?
Rosemary? Thyme? A Combination? Those
scents, mixed with a fresh, citrusy bouquet made for a delightful wine, which
fortunately tasted just as good as it smelled.
My friends and I each bought our own 1.5 L bottle of the Moscato. Definitely the winner of the day’s
tasting.
I tried this wine without food.
