Villa Lanata's Moscato D'Asti

We had another first for this tasting (well and the last one too but I forgot to mention it).  We coordinated trips to Total Wine so we could ensure we had the same wines.  We tasted Villa Lanata's Moscato D'Asti.

Appearance: Almost clear, bubble, no legs

Smell: Citrus, honey, grapefruit, ginger ale, peach, pineapple, sweet (anxious honey says Sam)

Taste: Peach, citrus, apple, grapefruit, pear, butterscotch, ginger, honeysuckle, very sweet, Egyptian cotton mouthful feel.

Pairings: Before the wine the Swartzwelders had fajhitas. After dinner dark chocolate brings out the fruit in the wine and takes away some of the tart, milk chocolate doesn't really do anything for it.  Cheese doesn't really go well with it.  It is definately a desert wine only.
