Notes
-----
This very light-yellow straw-colored wine is basically a
dessert wine, but reviewers suggest that it would pair well
with spicy foods. It is sweet, but also very light, with a
good bit of citrus that lifts the sweetness. Even better, it
has a hint of effervesence...not anywhere near as much as a
true sparkling wine, but noticeable. The bubbles were very
fine, and combined with the sweetness and citrus tones to
create a very crisp wash of flavor, with a nice mouth
feel--extremely refreshing. I feel that I could drink this
all day, and I'd like to try that sometime. I enjoyed this
wine VERY MUCH.

Additional Notes
----------------
This was absolutely my favorite wine from the entire Grand
Tasting of the 2004 New Orleans Food and Wine Experience. (This probably
says far too much about the sophistication of my tastes, but hey, you like
what you like.) It's also available in half-bottles, which may be a good
idea since the fizz probably does not keep well once opened. Serve chilled.
