Dessert Wine on a Budget

Trader Joe’s Muscat
$4.99 half bottle
Shane’s Notes

This wine has a pale yellow color and exhibits a sweet, grapey aroma. The wine is very sweet with no balancing acidity yet it still has a nice (but short) finish; it stops abruptly with a lingering sweetness. The flavors are light – honey and butterscotch – and the wine is not complex. It reminds me of a poor man’s Sauternes. This definitely needs to be served chilled. It is pleasant to drink and we recommend it for the price.
