🙋🌞 Looking for advice on Moscato
Depends. If it is just me - I’ll use the Cabernet Sauvignon with anything because it is always on the ready in the fridge and I just don’t care.
If there is company I’ll open up a white.
Right, I was assuming the OP wanted a white.
Whatever your drinking, take some Sudafed in advance of wine drinking. Keeps you from getting a stuffy nose and headache from the histamines in the wine
Are you married to bubbles? I don know for sure myself but Im told that most dry moscato is "still".
Liquor.com suggests you should consider Trimbach Muscat Reserve?
"Unlike many muscats, Trimbach’s version is bone-dry and actually the only Muscat AOC in France which is vinified dry. The highly aromatic floral nose dominated by lime blossom and white peach leads into flavor so fruity that you almost think you are eating ripe grapes or peaches. Good grip to the very dry flavors of white peach, lemon, flowers and minerals. Perfect as an aperitif or paired with asparagus, melon or smoked fish."
Its a little over budget though. The price has recently almost doubled to $23 but Im betting that youre going to see that for almost anything recently imported. Maybe check that hidden corner of that liquor shop where people mostly buy domestic national brand beers and see if theres a bottle hiding there from last year.
First try a Riesling like Dr Hans Von Muller Riesling Auslese Mosel(sweet) then try Dr Hans Von Muller Kabinett Riesling(off-dry)
Or Hans Schiller Liebfraumilch (sweet) then Chateau Ste Michelle Riesling Dry
Here’s a good place to play https://www.totalwine.com/search/all?text=riesling
LOL, damn that’s the good stuff!...
I always got my girl Strawberry Hill.
I think I got plastered on an entire case of Zima once...
You pay $20 for a bottle of wine?
Who are you, Bill Grates or something?
Out by the dumpster?
Oh my.
Did they have to do a stomach transplant?
I could afford the higher prices but why would I if I'm already getting quality product at much lower prices?
Sims. I remember the headache.
No, but that would have been fitting. :)
You should get a dry/brut champagne in your price range.
Best suggestion, go to a wine shop and get their recommendation.
No, I emptied the contents of my stomach all by myself.
Pinots, Zins, Cabs and Merlots are great and many top end vintners have red blends that often times are better than their premier reds. A good dry red with a nice balance of tannins with an approximate percentage of alcohol from 15 to 16.5% pairs extraordinarily well with red meats. Pinots pair well with pork and poultry. A lower alcohol % with a low tannin content usually makes the wine taste flat but the flavors of the grape variety must also stand out. Those are my preferences but the bottom line is the wine one enjoys regardless of price, label or pairing.
Zima. Autocorrect.
