Since I am in celebratory mood (see previous post) I have to recommend another wine that makes you feel good: Moscato d'Asti. To be called like that the wine has to originate from strictly designated region in Italy. As the name suggests, it is made of Muscatel (moscato bianco) grapes. It is slightly sparkling (the bottle should have cork, but not necessarily wire cage around it. It should be served well chilled and can be enjoyed alone (quite tasty dessert) or with fruit or cheese. I have even tried it with spicy Chinese and Indian food and it works well.
As wit all imported wines, Moscato d'Asti can be on the expensive side, but those who seek can find! I have found Villa Alena at Trader Joe's for $7.99 and for this price it is excellent. Even bottle is nice - pear shaped with vertical ribs.
I have also tried Martini&Rossi found at the local Smith's store for $13.49 - also good but the price makes you think before you buy.
