Food Pairings

Funny you ask. Other than Vino Santo, Moscato di Asti, hands down. A light, muscat-based late harvest from Northern Italy with a few gentle bubbles. First time we drank this wine, having never heard of it, we looked at each other and said "This would go perfectly with biscotti". The wine is not syrupy like a Sauternes and we were afraid that any dessert with a good amount of sugar would dry up the wine, defeating the purpose. So it seemed a natural for pairing with an almost sweetfree sweet. Something like pound cake should also work. BTW We rarely eat biscotti. That's how obvious the choice seemed. The M di Asti is a fun, festive wine that won't break the bank (10 to 15 bucks American should get you a half bottle). Whatever you choose, let us know how it worked. I'm eager to hear other opinions along these lines.
