Yalumba Muscat Victoria Museum!

[Auburnwine]

Get this sticky. It runs about $18 for 375ml.

Drink it up (but in a savoring sort of way).

Relish that warm, smooth praline and coffee.

Smile big.

Shhhhhh!

If everybody knew how brilliant and joyous these ports and muscats were, they would go flying off the shelves and become damned expensive.

I've been enjoying these museum release NV wines from Yalumba for years, broke out a couple of their Antique Tawny & one Muscat for the holidays. The Tawny went so well with creme brule that my dessert-making sister promises to provide lots more of these every year if I'll provide lots more wine.

Talk about your no-brainer decisions.

One of my friends gave me a creme brulee kit for Christmas--four serving dishes and a burner that you fill with butane and then ignite to carmelize the sugar. Haven't used it yet but look forward to the spectacle. I have some Buller dessert wines but may have to look for this one from Yalumba also.

Picked up a bottle of this a few weeks back and gave it a whirl as a post-dinner tipple.

Beautiful... halfway between a sticky and a port for me. Deep bronze color and a massive, enticing aroma. A little bit of lingering sweetness, silky-smooth, powerful and delicious.

Turned out to be an excellent digestive a day or two later after an over-indulgence of pizza, too. [img]http://wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img]

NZ$25/375ml bottle.

Skeeters Summary: Another glass? Yes, please!

My goodness, what a wonderful drink. This bottle went bye-bye very quickly last night.

I'm about out of my 'antique tawny', and I'm having a hard time finding replacement bottles locally.

Road trip!
