Strike another one off the varietal list. This one made from the grape called...and you've got to love the name...
Zebbibo (or muscat of Alexandria)
Wow. Great nose of peach and caramel. Same taste but the wine is Pure smooth. Floats and melts on your tongue and then the acidity takes care of things. medium to long finish. Greate wine but pricier at $39.99 per half bottle and it is from Sicily.

Had a glass of this in a restaurant, for dessert. Quite a treat.

I love sweet dessert wines but sometimes, I'm not in the mood for a boytris taste or the intense sweetness in an icewine. This one was both sweet with an incredible nose and still the acidity was good enough to have a rather clean finish. Great bottle.
