beni di batasiolo bosc dla rei

this 2006 moscato will knock your dessert wine socks off. what, you say? you don't have dessert wine socks? ya gotta get a pair. slip 'em on then knock 'em off with this sweet wine.

there is nothing subtle about this wine, but with moscato, that's the idea, right? i won't use any winehead terms to talk about bosc; i'll let you find the words once you can get yourself to stop drinking this once you open the bottle. i bet it's empty before you get much of a word out.

next time, i'm gonna try this with some smooth, mellow vanilla ice cream. i'll let you know how it goes.

i think it ran us somewhere around $12. 4/5 stars, if stars are what you're after.

goats do roam

a play on cotes du rhone, this tasty south african red wine from paarl, za is a blend of shiraz, cinsaut, carignan and mourvèdre with a dash of local pinotage. or so i hear. dunno what all that's s'posed to mean, but i can say that this little wine goes well with goat cheese and also with lamb. we had some with our easter dinner, and it sent chills down my spine with it subtle reach. i bet it would go well with mussels too.

i don't usually buy wines over $10, but i think it's time i started. and i'll have to keep my eye out for another bottle of this goat-wine.

taste: 4/5 - one of the better wines i've had in awhile
price: ~$14
