It’s hot outside, folks! But we don’t have to tell you that. You’ve been living with it. So this week we have an exceptionally fun and refreshing white that is built to help you beat the heat. But wait, you say, I don’t drink sweet wine and you’re talking about Moscato d’Asti. Well, take my word for it. This beautiful, single vineyard Moscato isn’t just a sweet wine. It is fantastically vibrant and fresh with the kind of nose that will lure you in and the kind of palate that will hold your interest like a steel trap. Tiny bubbles serve to lift the wine to stratospheric heights allowing all of the juicy white peach, Meyer lemon, and fresh apricot unfettered access to every nook and cranny of your palate. In spite of the sweetness this lovely white finishes with such levity and freshness. Paired with a bowl of sliced Palisade peaches topped with freshly whipped cream, this wine will do things for you that aren’t appropriate to discuss in mixed company. Seriously, this is every bit as serious and thought provoking a wine as the high end reds we feature on this email each week. It just happens to be Moscato d’Asti. Try a sip for free at the tasting bar tonight and it will make you a believer!
Food Pairing:
A glorious bottle of Single Vineyard Moscato like the 2014 Marenco Scrapona will pair up incredibly well with the fresh Palisade peaches that are just getting ripe. At my house we usually quarter them and serve them drizzled in a few drops of really aromatic gin before topping them with a dollop (or three) of very lightly sweetened homemade whipped cream. It is the kind of simple and delicious dessert course that your guests will not soon forget.
