Yes. It's wine time again. The object of today's wine discussion is a sweet Californian white, Chateua La Salle Blanc. Let's call it a "California table wine" based upon it's attributes. If you closed your eyes to the label and allow your mind to temporarily travel to Italy, you might even call it a Moscato.
But my friends. We're talking California here. Hmm... The label doesn't identify either the varietal or true appellation. Although produced in Modesto, California I would venture to guess that it's parentage is from miscellaneous grape varietals from far and wide throughout California. This is a California wine thing when key words are missing from the label.
But ~ For only $5.99 what do you expect? When Tiffany and I stood at the wine taste bar to sample this particular wine, we truly did not expect much for $5.99. I thought that I might be spitting the sampling.

Again, I shall let our wine tasting sheets (below) speak for us.
Both Tiffany and I were quite pleasantly surprised as the nectar of the grapes flowed upon our palates. Riesling-like except no apple notes. "Moscato!" Buttery and sweet. "What?" "Only $5.99???" "I'll take a couple of bottles Mr. Wine Purveyor, sir." "Thank you!"
Hi-dee hi-dee Jeremiah-has-some-mighty-fine-wine-ho my friend.
