Oh de Muscat Côtes Catalanes Blanc

Both the name and grape and, frankly, fact that it was from Roussillon made me think it wouldn’t be for me. And it totally is. It has all the markers of Muscat flavor—honeydew, orange blossom, honeysuckle and peach juice...with...SURPRISE! It is dry as can be with a big kick of sea spray salinity and squeeze of lemon. Fresh. And then I realized it was a Sacred Thirst import and it all made sense. This wine is cool and surprising. It’s the soccer mom who doesn’t try too hard to fit in with her teenaged kids but also just happens to make her own organic juices and was married to a rock star and...oh shit this wine is Gwyneth Paltrow. And it is beautiful as her. Seriously drink with eyes closed and you are at a bonfire party on the beach eating melon. So into it.
