Hi all! It's been so long since I've visited! I'm 5 months pregnant, so I haven't had much opportunity to try any wines lately. I'm making a list, though, of wines to try once this baby is out of me!!! [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img]

Anyways, a friend had a wine to go with the cheesecake she had made for a party the other evening. The wine was by Ventana. And it was called something like "Muscat d'Orange". It said "white table wine", and I believe it was made in Monterey. It was in a slender bottle - like those used for dessert wines. My friend insisted that it was a dessert wine, and very sweet. My husband (who despises most wines, because "they burn when they go down") loved this wine, and said it didn't burn at all. I smelled this wine (since I cannot drink it, of course) and it smelled dry, and not very sweet - almost like a Chardonay. Of course I was just smelling it, and sometimes the taste can be totally different from the smell, so I'm open to whatever they say about how it tastes! (It still smelled good, though!)

Do any of you know this wine? Is it indeed a dessert wine? I'm just dying to know!!!

P.S. She bought it for $1.99 at Trader Joe's! It smelled like a $10 bottle of wine. And my DH liked it!!!!! So, it must be good!
