Which Moscato did you have?

Please tell us how you liked the late-harvest Reisling for dessert. Those are generally among my favorite wines. The late-harvest Reislings and Gewurtztraminers have such interesting, complex flavors, and the sweeter dessert wines are even tastier.

'S a pity that Tabor Hill Winery, in Michigan, hasn't hade any late-harvest Reislings recently :( I'd love to get some, but I haven't found any wine stores that carry their wines. No, they're not the greatest wines in the world, but they're not bad, especially for the price.

Michael - I didn't bring the updated copy of the wine list home with me so I don't know. Sorry.
Jeannette - The late harvest Riesling was excellent.
