Sara Bee Puglia, Italy N/V Sweet Moscato, $6.99, 89 points, was a medium brass color with lemon yellow highlights.
Smells of apples, a hint of orange zest, white orchard blossoms, and yes, honey were delightful.
A medium-bodied white wine with some noticeable viscosity, fair acidity, and delicious flavors reflective of the aromas fed well into a good finish accented with lemon oil and a complementing 5.5% alcohol.
Paired well with my Habanero Mexican cuisine, but paired nicely with strawberries, white chocolate, and Macadamia nuts as well.

But how sweet was it? Moscato always has a great nose, just can't do the sweet style.
ReplyDeleteV-girl, for a sweet white wine, it was appropriately sweet: not cloying, but the nuance of sweetness complementing strawberries, and yet contrasting with hot spices.
