Winery review: Our Moscato has a floral, fruity nose and ends with a sensation of lemon zest on its finish.

A refreshing before dinner wine and so perfect to add to party punch. Pair with Latin dishes or Asian cuisine. It’s just right for spicy food!

My review: I found this wine to be almost sickeningly sweet with a very syrupy, fruity flavor. I tasted apple and honeysuckle and found it to have a hint of a sparkling quality/carbonation. The winery review suggests that this wine would be good in punch and I would be curious to try either that or in a white sangria. 

Food:I had this both on its own and then with plain potato chips
