Bonny Doon Muscat

[barnesy]

The strong flavor you encountered is called the Muscat grape. Muscat has a really pungent orange and spice flavor to it. Its one of them love 'em or leave 'em grapes. About the only way I can enjoy muscat is in a Moscato d'Asti or in a lighter muscat de beaumes venise. You would probably like the moscato d'asti since you said you liked the Muscat after a couple of days... the added days of airation probably killed the power of the muscat.

Moscato is the Italian version of Muscat. Moscato d'asti is semi sparkling and very enjoyable and dirt cheap (about 10 bones).
