Excellent Dessert Wine

*Railroad* ^(Premo) · 12-01-2012, 12:48 PM

A friend came by last night and brought a bottle of Bartenura Moscato. This particular wine is the product of the Provincia di Pavia in Italy. I normally don't enjoy wine at all, and never buy it because of that, but this wine is so good that I went and bought a case of it this morning. It's a sparkling, sweet wine that is served chilled. This stuff is so smooth and so mellow!! It sells for about $17 a bottle. Acccording to the wine & spirits proprietor, the wine was originally sold in very limited distribution, but sold so fast they couldn't grow the grapes fast enough to keep up with the demand. As I can well understand, he said it's considered to be one of the best of its kind in the world.

I am enjoying a Mirassou Pinot Noir right now. Not really into dessert wines. Sorry

Is there a question awaiting a response in there?

Caramel apple coffee.

It is sublime.

I love Moscato wines! Thanks for your recommendation -- I'll see if I can find that one somewhere in Calvert.

Good stuff. Get it as chilled as possible.

If you liked Batenura, you should definitely try two called "Little Bosco" and "Voulet". The Voulet is the better of the two but harder to find as it's only imported twice a year from Italy I believe. However both are very good if you like sweet sparkling wines.

I'm so wine dumb. I want a red wine that is sweet. Would that be a "dessert wine"?
