Moscato D’Asti – 2006; Dezzani Winery; Asti, Italy
This “bubbly” wine is light, gently fizzy and very crisp to the pallet with a clean finish. It has fragrances of citrus and honey. It is low in alcohol and sweet, buy not syrupy sweet. It is like a slightly effervescent cousin of a true Asti Spumante, only delightfully sweet and fruitful. If you’re looking for a not-so-typical Moscato, then this is a light and refreshing alternative to peak your interest. It pairs nicely with slightly spicy dishes, with brunch, and also stands on its own to be enjoyed as a nice after dinner wine. Enjoy!

Fragaria (Strawberry) – Barking Rocks Winery, Granbury, Texas
This sweet, crisp, delightful wine is a pleasure to serve to all your friends and family. You can really taste the full essence of strawberries in this wine. Though this is a sweet wine, it is not syrupy sweet, and the berry taste is so clear, it literally tastes like you have just bitten into a strawberry. This wine has a very clean and beautiful finish. We highly recommend this one as a dessert wine, or to be served at brunch. Love this so much; we believe it is simply the best Strawberry wine in Texas.
