Marco Negri Moscato D'Asti DOCG 2008 Piedmont Italy

I'm pretty disappointed in this bottle. There's nothing wrong with it; it's just not my kind of wine. It's very sweet, a little bit bubbly, and it tastes just like a wine cooler. Maybe I'll enjoy my next glass more since I know what to expect now, but I'm really not looking forward to it. I didn't even like it enough to spend more time online looking for a better picture. I'd take a good strong red over this any day.

Looking for a gift idea for me? How about a subscription to a Wine of the Month club? Or... do they have Wine of the Week clubs??

I remember the days when I was, in my own words, "not much of a wine drinker"... this was sometime in the previous century. That classification began with the glass of "hot red wine with spices" that my sister made for me once when I was visiting her with a cough that was keeping me awake at night. I never did tell my sister this, but what was in that glass seemed to me like the exact temperature and flavor of vomit. I know, ick! So from then on I was "not much of a wine drinker"... until that one fateful night when Kay got ahold of me. She started me off easy with Berenger White Zinfandel and I have never looked back. For a while I only liked "pink" wines until Amy simultaneously made fun of me for this and opened my eyes.

Wine!
