Macaron: Part 2

I came to find that there are other people in the world that choose wine by the look of the label. I'm glad I'm not the only one that does it and it proves that wine makers should never underestimate the power of creative label. I was already drawn in with the playfulness of the Macaron wine label and decided to try one of the other varietals. The Moscato Italia is a fun dessert wine that is light and sweet. However, I did notice that this Moscato didn't have that syrupy sweetness to it that most Moscatos have. This is a great girls night wine or just something nice to sip on. I know that because of the sweetness Moscatos aren't for everyone, but if you want to mix it up this is definitely a great wine. Plus, it's a great wine for the price and is a perfect way to celebrate the start of a wonderful new year! Cheers!

'Tis the season for sweets galore, so why shouldn't the wine join the sweet party too? When you are doing desserts, typically the go to wines are the sweeter ones. Though there are the super sweet wine white and bubblies, there are a few sweet red wines. Macaron is definitely worth noting (and trying). As per my usual wine buying strategy, I bought this one because of the label. Let's just be real for a second...how can brightly colored cookies not catch your attention?! Well they sure caught mine, so I gave it a try. This was labeled as a semi-sweet red wine from Italy. It was a lighter red wine that had bold cherry and raspberry flavors with a shorter finish. This wine didn't have that tannic aftertaste that some red wines have. For those that shy away from sweet wines because they can sometimes taste like the sparkling grape juice you drank as a kid, this is not one of those. It was reasonably priced and worth a try. So cheers to trying something new!
