Muscadet is a wine I don't know a whole lot about, so I was glad to pick this one up for around 10 bucks. The hand-written note at the wine shop (usually a good sign...if hand-written) mentioned melons, minerals and crispness...so I paired it with penne with cauliflower, sweet petit peas and parmesan cream sauce.
Eyes: In the glass, it's an extremely pale yellow with great clarity and brightness.
Nose: I didn't get much in the way of melons or fruit of any sort. It's lean nose is filled with wet stones and minerals.
Tongue: Crisp and tart at firt, the mid-palate offers a little bit of melon (honeydew) with more minerals. It's extremely clean tasting but simple with a flat finish.
Price: $10
Overall: My American palate may have enjoyed more fruit, but I enjoyed this wine. It's not a complex or deep wine...not one you think too much about...but it's an interesting sip nonetheless because it's unlike anything I've tasted from the U.S.
Lenn's Grade: B-
Nena's Grade: B-
Mmmm. Muscadet. One of my favorites. The classic accompaniment to oysters. Crisp and clean. Melissa and I often enjoy a bottle when we go to Hog Island in the SF Ferry Building, and we have a few bottles here in the apartment.

What was it like with the food, Lenn? As Derrick suggests it is normally paired with fish and shellfish. Apparently Muscadet is enjoying something of a revival in the UK (although I dont see it myself) as it is fairly neutral like Italian Pinot Grigio, which is also very popular at the moment.

Andy and Derrick,
I thought it was pretty good with the pasta...and since I can't eat shellfish (allergy to shell fish) I really can't say how it would be with oysters or something similar. Maybe I should have put it with the scallops I did for Nena. Live and learn!
I don't think I'd compare it exactly to Pinot Grigio...which I REALLY dislike. This seemed to have more character than most Pinots I've had.

I think you make more blogs for this type. Than we take a lots of information for it.I think it’s understandable that these transit workers feel shortchanged by this request given the years of service they’ve given the system.

Why dont you spammers give readers a true story like mine and maybe your comment would be of some benefit and interest.
Penis enlargement and male enhancement has become the latest fad, and many males out there feel their manhood is either too small or they cant last very long in bed. Well I was one of them, so i decided to do something about it. I tried a natural male enhancement pill for about 3 months and was surprised at the results. I cant say that I increased in penis length a large amount but i definately have got bigger and wider.
My wife says she can feel the difference and see the difference. One thing i did notice was my increase in sexual desire and recovery after intercourse. Even after i have stopped using the pills, i have also noticed that regular intercourse seems to increase the blood flow to my genitals and increases it in size, almost like working out in the gym. I would recommend it to anyone, great stuff!
