This has been found upon going to a sparkling wine tasting which isn't really that great of an idea when one is sick with the flu in such a warm season! Stuffy nose and coughing didn't enhance the experience by any mean but was determined to enjoy the experience. Anyhow, the point of the story was that most of the sparkling wines, two whites and a rose, really didn't find itself appealing to me till I had reached a 2008 Italian Muscat that was drinking very well for such a young age.
Having gone with a partner of mine to this wine tasting event, we had thoroughly enjoyed the Muscat and really wanted to find that bottle at where they said it would be sold. Fast forward to the weekend and completing another round of 10 wines tasted, we had went to another wine merchant that was said to have the bottle we found very palatable and didn't find it. We, however, found the same varietal that was very delicious in its own rights though not the same flavor profile as the previous Muscat we had. At 9.99 and a 2009 to boot, it was drinking very well and was outstanding considering the price range and youth of the bottle.
I'll have to remember to post the picture of the bottle.
Final self update: Still sick.
