Wine Tasting - Santa Moscato D'Asti 2011

"This is one of the disadvantages of wine; it makes a man mistake words for thoughts."

 - Samuel Johnson

Hi!  May your day bring your efforts into success and your heart into peace.

While walking the isles of our local Costco warehouse club, Tiffany and I stumbled upon something special within the beer & wine floor space.  And, what was that you ask?  A most reasonably priced wine from my favorite wine region of the world ~ Piedmont, Italy.  Since Costco general carries nothing except the finest wine selections, we both knew it would be worth the price.

Chucky's Point Score:  90
Tiffany's Point Score:  92

Chucky's tasting notes

Chucky's Notes:  "An absolute & refreshing 'Wow!'  Once again my favorite wine appellation of the world has not let me down.  Delicious, refreshing and a perfect blend of citrus, pear, apple and sweetness."

Tiffany's tasting notes

Tiffany's Notes:  "Piedmont has once again outdone itself!  The bold red delicious apple bouquet delivers to an explosion of tree and tropical fruits on the palate.  I love this sweet fruit smooth Asti!  Will be going back to Costco for more!"

This Asti is a mildly sweet and elegant treat to the palate.  The beautiful sculptured glass bottle appropriately houses this wonderful nectar.

You must do yourself and delve out a measly $9 for what will certainly be a shocking bottle of casual wine!  Serve it to your guests or take it to a dinner party and you will certainly impress everyone who is lucky enough to partake its' crisp enjoyable taste.
