Characteristics: To my mind a perfect Moscato of Asti should have both poise and grace to such a degree that this elegance is not a topic of recognition but rather a power that beguiles our taste buds and lends an unspoken wonder to the entire ensemble. Saracco Moscato d'Asti stands a world apart from any I've had. Known for the delicacy of its gentle but indefatigable effervescence, Saracco's 2010 Moscato d'Asti washes over your palate like sweet floral peaches, spins all your thoughts to the joys of this world and finishes clean leaving you refreshed and smiling. A dream of an aperitivo, Saracco is a welcoming way to greet guests and see them to the table, one of the only wines to pair with fruit, and a nimble option for brunch -and at 6% alcohol, this Moscato will help you greet the day with ebullient cheer rather than a need for an afternoon nap. This is one of those wines that invigorates and leaves the world a brighter place. (Available in both 750ml and 375ml -please note the volume when ordering)
- Wine review by Nicholas D. Livingston, February 2010

"Moscato d’Asti is a unique wine where the beautiful aromas of the grapes are enhanced by a crisp, nice acidity, a light frizziness and the sweetness of the natural residual sugar. The low alcohol content makes it a very easy, pleasant wine perfect to finish a meal with dessert or alone, as a nice mid-day break."

Characteristics: The nose smells of dark, bittersweet chocolate with whole almonds in a very "aromatic" way. when you taste it the berry fruit is quite fresh - black cherry, even blueberry - a balanced and pretty counterpoint. This is not so sticky sweet as many chocolate dessert wines but a delicious, grown-up version - great balance of chocolate and fruit. -DYB (tasted February 2009)

Characteristics: What an endevor this wine is; an honorarium to German ice wines. Freeze the grapes to concentrate the flavors then freeze your hands putting those berries through a delicate crush. The resulting nectar is worth it. Ripe peach aromas and flavours of preserved white fruits.

Characteristics: A delicious sweet and fortified dessert wine, Hastings Reserve is made in the style of a ruby Port, emphasizing both youthful fruit and a maturity of flavor. With an abundance of jammy, berry fruit, the rich, raisiny flavor is enhanced by the warm and spirituous addition of brandy.

Made from a number of different grape varieties including Frontenac, Marechal Foch and Leon Millot, Alexis Bailly blends wines made from several vintages, each wine aged for at least 2 years and up to 8 years in a combination of French, American and old whiskey barrels. The result is a wine of magnificent complexity and depth of flavor. Drinkable upon release, this dessert wine can age in the bottle for 5 to 10 years and provide the patient drinker with an even more incredible intensity of flavor to savor.
