Tasting- Gallo Family Moscato

Name: Gallo Family Vineyards Moscato
Variety: Muscat

Region: Modesto, California

Country: USA

Year: 2009
Price: $10

Winery decription: Our Moscato is bursting with delicious flavors of peach, honey, and ripe citrus - in a delightfully light style.

My review: This wine is absolutely delicious.  It is so sweet.  I love the cool, light peachy flavor.

Winery food pairing advice: Honeyed sweetness in a lighter style is a wonderful contrast to spicy Asian take-out or Mexican dishes, and complements everyday desserts.

My pairing: We had this wine with pesto and Italian flavored chicken.  While it tasted better with the food than without, due to the increased sweetness I agree that their pairing suggestions would probably bring the flavors of the wine out better better.
