Bottle of La Ardilla (the squirrel) |
La Ardilla 2010
Valencia, Spain
Moscato Grapes
10.00 USD
You will be amazed as this light, elegant and fruity wine has just the right amount of fizz and sweetness to be the perfect aperitif on a warm afternoon. Delicious! (Reviewed By: Schneider's of Capitol Hill)
To continue from Post #1, the second wine tasted that night was the bottle of La Ardilla and was picked by the lovely Marie Williams. Known for having a notorious sweet tooth, this Moscato was a no brainner for Marie...plus it had a squirrel on the bottle, it was love at first sight. It was also served with the cheese and bread appetizers. Smelling it was like shoving candy up your nose, with a hint of some kind of flower and honey. It tasted as Marie so eloquently put it as "like Welch's grape juice" with a slight bubbly crispness to it. But to be honest I would have been perfectly happy simply smelling it all night. I wasn't able to taste much of a difference in the wine after eating either the cheese or bread.
