Wine pairing alert— or really an alert about the alert: a five yro Mocato D’Asti ( by an esteemed Barolo maker) paired with… a softly stinky, washed rind, soft, French style ( but from Connecticut) cheese. The Moscato was frothy, perky, & not too fruity to meet the cheese everywhere it went. Enough acid cut. And why wasn’t I doing this more previously? Yum.

I was expecting a lot more acidity, and this was really soft. Might be just the vintage or bottle based on others’ comments.

A cut above the rest. Pear nectar, candied apricot, lemon zest and floral notes. A bit fizzy. High acidity balances out the sweetness.
