Moscato Love

Even after a very intense horticulture science class in vinification (winemaking to the layman) involving thorough study of the Wine Bible, varietal reports, and visiting Washington state vineyards (ok, ok... the class essentially involved wine tasting everyday, tough stuff!), my taste in wine revolves around just a few varieties. Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, and occasionally Geverztraminer are just about the only bottles living in my house on a regular basis.

I picked a bottle of Moscato up on a whim for Valentine's weekend when Nick was in town. This was before I knew he was coming to visit with the flu and all alcohol would be off the schedule.

After a long week, I decided this new friend should be opened tonight. As I vaguely remembered, Moscato is a bit fermented, though less sparkling than champagne, and sweet like jam. In essence, dessert in a glass!

However, I forgot how delicious it is. I've found another variety staple to join the select others :)
