About WiNEZ

WiNEZ was a monthly event at EZ Street Saloon in South Range, WI. Unfortunately, due to lower turn out the owners had decided to stop hosting the event. The last wine night at EZ was held on November 12, 2014. But that is not to say the die hards won't be getting together for some wine tasting periodically at EZ Street Saloon. I will continue to blog the wines we have tasted pre starting this blog, along with our impromptu meetings, and maybe transform the blog into something more personal. We will see where it goes. I do know the blog will still be about wine!

So for my WiNEZ pals you can count on this blog to serve as an archive of what was consumed and a reference for your spending sprees. For those who are just curious about what the Northwest Wisconsinites are drinking here are some thoughts… but be warned I am by no means a wine expert-I only know what I like. Since I am not an expert I will try to include the winemakers label descriptions as well.

Salute! or as the Finnish would say Kippis!

Menage a’ trios Moscato

Menage a’ trios Moscato is not at all the typical sugary moscato we had expected.  It has a full feel  in the mouth with more intense flavors of peaches and green/golden apples.  There is a bit of honey flavored finish.  This Moscato actually tastes more like a sweet or late harvest Riesling than a Moscato.  Although it is not what we expected we still enjoyed it.

Varietal:  Moscato
Producer/Importer:  Menage a’ trios by Folie a' Deux Winery 
Region: California      
Vintage: 2010
Price: $10
Tasting notes:
 Sight (Color/Clarity): light golden straw
 Smell (bouquet, aroma): crisp sweet green apples
Taste (acidity, balance, body): more like a sweet Riesling than a moscato. Peaches, golden apples, and honey
Bottle presentation:
Label descrition: “Good things come in threes.  Our Moscato mingles wines from three different growing areas, each crafted by a different winemaker.  With delightful lip-smacking flavors- creamy peach, ripe, juicy melon, and rich, golden honey-our Moscato is proof positive that three is always much more fun than one.”
Comparisons: Very similar to the Wollersheim’s White Riesling or a late harvest Riesling
Overall rating (1-10): 8
Date consumed: January 11, 2012
