sparkling moscato

[Food Lady]

for the win. Mmmmm. I still have 2/3 a bottle and plan to finish it in the next couple of days. (I don't drink a lot--maybe 1 a night). I had never heard of it and got the last bottle. Anyone had it? I got Barefoot brand at Target.

Moscato is probably one of my favorite kinds of wine to drink. Sweet and bubbly and light, since I'm not a huge fan of reds.

Never tried the Barefoot, but then I don't care for that particular brand of wine, personally. Voga Moscato is my favorite, so far, but then I'm still trying different ones as I come across them, and as our resident interwebs sommelier recommends them (Thank you KiaKat!!)

So far on my list to try are:
G.D. Vajira
La Spinetta
Michele Chiarlo
Paolo Saracco (though supposed to be hard to find)
Abbazia di Novacella (another hard to find one...but yay, questing adventure!!)

I have tried, the Mionetto moscato and the San Guilo Moscato D'asti, both were tasty, but I still think Voga is my favorite thus far.


If you like moscatos, try a prosecco, they're also fruity and bubbly. Wolfie and I had that last night to toast the new year, again on the advice of our wonderful KiaKat. Crisp and fruity, and yuuum. We had the Ruffino.

another light and fruity wine to look for is a Riesling, but some are dryer than others. Wolfie likes Funf (I think that's how you spell it), and I tried another one called Von Hovel Balduin Riesling. THAT was a yummy one.


I should shut up now...and now I want some wine...

Not a wine person (I'm currently working on a case of Guinness), but I'd steer clear of the Barefoot brand just because of the name.

I'd probably think it had toenails and other disgusting foot debris in it.

LOL at Irv. I didn't like this brand as much as others, but it's the only time I've seen a sparkling moscato. I have a feeling it's a seasonal item. Imma have another glass now.

Moscato is actually available year round. I've always had better luck looking in a liquor store, where there's a bigger selection. You should check on out, they have lots of yummy moscatos.

Moscato is my current favorite. Now I'll have to go look for a prosecco to try...

[lupo pazzesco]

We had the Ruffino prosecco, which was pretty good. Bubbly and fruity. A little dryer than a moscato, but still tasty. We were told to try that, or a Mionetto prosecco. The Ruffino was on special 2 for sale, which ultimately decided us.

I love Brown Brothers Moscato, it's so yummy!

The bubbly kind, too?

[lupo pazzesco]

yup. Moscato usually is bubbly, if I'm not mistaken. But then, I'm not a wine expert, so that's just based on my experience.
