For summer, a chilled Moscato, whether sparkling or still, can be so refreshing and uplifting when the heat is oppressive. This example, showing a California appellation so the grapes come from multiple AVAs, is delightful and very easy on the wallet as well. Light-bodied and showing a pale yellow color, this moderate alcohol (8.5%) wine is sweet but balanced, not at all cloying. Aromas and flavors present a grab bag of fresh fruit characters, especially white melon and pears, plus a hint of honeysuckle. Fresh and lively on the palate, this wine is 100% muscat blanc à petits grains. Serve moderately chilled, about 50F/10C in medium-sized tulip-shaped glasses. Mostly sold in restaurants, this Moscato limited in availability, but it is on both the wine list (by the glass and bottle) and the shelf at Three Blind Mice in Lilburn. TBM is a restaurant, wine and tapas bar and retail store. Superb with TBM’s strawberry shortcake.
Suggested Food Pairings:
More flexible than one might think. Spicy Asian appetizers; spicy chicken or seafood kabobs; grilled chicken and fruit salad; summer fruit-based desserts, such as strawberry or peach shortcake (if not too sweet); poached peaches chilled and served with crème anglaise; strawberries and cream; cheese plate with soft room-temperature cheeses and assorted fruit (perhaps its best pairing).
