My Review:  This was a surprisingly good Moscato.  I was expecting sweet and got sweet but it was not over the top.  Maybe I'm comparing the sweetness to the Muscadine wine previously blogged that was way way way over the top, but I really thought it was a good level of sweetness.  If too sweet the sugar overtakes the rest of the flavors but in this case the rest of the wine was able to express itself.
