Moscato, Malvasia, Beer, and Bailey's
2010 Terre Sabaude Moscato D'Asti, Italy ($13.99 at Lopez Liquors)5.5% alcohol.
This one tasted like peaches and cream oatmeal. One glass may be fun: at lunch, on Mother's Day, a picnic on the beach, or trying to seduce a freshman in college that has recently left catholic school for the dorms. Don't expect to get drunk, even if you try. The freshman might, but you won't. You'll be left dissapointed. A slight effervescence and a sweet viscus texture will leave you apathetic towards Mother's Day Brunch.
2010 Caravaglio Malvasia Isola Di Salina, Italy ($25 at Passionfish Restaurant)
It had a slight gold color, was kind of hot and had a floral bouquet. It lacked acidity, which made me think it was a Paso Robles Viognier. It had aromas of white flowers, white peach, and white...salt. It's biodynamic. We think it's cool because it shows the terroir of a small island off of the Northern coast of Sicily. This was similar to a $4.99 Epicuro Vermentino we had from Trader Joe's but better.
M.V. Stella Artois Lager, Belgium ($10 per six-pack)
We only had one left, so we had to share it. It sparkled like Champagne.
M.V. Bailey's Irish Cream Liquer, Ireland (17% Alcohol)
A beautifl cordial that tastes better cold. Since the Moscato failed to give me a buzz, this one picked up the slack.
I wish I would stop wishing.
