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.

Sweet Layla Moscato NV (about $11)
About the Wine: The Brotherhood Winery in New York makes a product called Sweet Lolly that is approximately the sweetest thing in the history of ever. It is certainly possible that the similarity in the names is coincidental and this not in fact a knock off of a third rate wine. The cute label and lack of a vintage do not make me optimistic.
About THIS Wine: The wine is clear in the glass. The nose reminds of Fresca or Sierra Mist lemon lime soda. The palate is overpoweringly sweet without any depth that I could detect. There was no distinct finish that I could make out.
Drinking This Wine: This is a good wine for drinking when your marriage unravels and you realize it was all your fault. It is the perfect way to reflect on how sweetest things in life can be terrible. Get comfortable in a cheap motel and curl up with this and some microwave burritos.
Overall Impression: I can't imagine buying this at any price.
