Today is National Moscato Day! This day was created by the Gallo Family Vineyards in 2012. When it comes to drinking wine or any alcohol for that matter, I am a lightweight. I have tried fancy red wines and dry white wines, but my palette could not grow accustomed to the tastes. It did not mature with the rest of me. I prefer light, sweet wines, and Moscato is one of my favorites!
Moscato is made from the Muscat Blanc grapes from Piedmont Italy. Believe it or not, muscat grapes are the same grapes that are used for raisins. Moscato has peachy, orangey, and nectarine flavors and is often used as a dessert wine and comes in white, red, and rose’. It is the third most popular win in the US. I guess there are many other wine drinkers with the same taste as me.
Moscato is a great summer wine. Here are a few ideas.
If you haven’t tried Moscato, put it on your shopping list and start creating sweet summer beverages. Cheers!

Rita, nice post. I don’t drink at all, but if I did, it would definitely be the sweet wines, like Moscato. The recipes sound yummy.

Rita, I love your enthusiasm in this post. I’m not a fine of this wine, but I’d drink it with some OJ. Thanks for bringing a smile to my face today.

I must admit I have never tried this one, but now I am intrigued and this weekend, I’ll make it a delayed Moscato Day!

Count Kathy and me as Moscato drinkers as well. There is a vineyard not too far from us that makes a delicious one.
