I know a lot of great wines. But you wouldn't have heard of them. My job at a wine store means that I taste a lot of obscure wines. This blog is a record of my better finds in the $10 to $20 range. If you have any questions please drop me an email at stiebelben@gmail.com. I always love to talk wine.

Allegri Moscato Frizzante no vintage on bottle (about $10)
About the Wine: Frizzante is a designation for wine that have some carbonation but do not bubble as much as Champagne or Spumante. The designation usually applies to Moscato.
About THIS Wine: Clear in the glass with no rim. Sweet peach dominates the nose, as is typical for a Moscato. More sweet peach makes up the palate, which ends in a tart finish. This wine is definitely sweet but not nearly as sweet as most Moscatos I've had.
Drinking This Wine: Definitely a patio pounder, though it might work with spicy Thai food.
Overall Impression: I tasted Allegri a few months back and promptly forgot all about it until the store where I work opened a bottle for a tasting. This wine is generally unimpressive but not unpleasant. At ten dollars it is reasonable for the price.
