Well, we were in Vegas last week, and wine/cocktail/beer prices at restaurants/bars there aren't cheap. Instead of paying $15/glass, we decided to buy a bottle of wine at the nearby Walgreens.


We looked at several different types of Moscato, but in the end, the label on the Bartenura bottle intrigued us. I know you can't judge a book (bottle) by it's cover (label), but we had to know if it tasted as good as it looked. Also, it was an Italian wine, and we tend to like Italian wines.
The verdict? It's very sweet, a great dessert wine. In fact, it was our dessert that night. It's also crisp and refreshing. We didn't eat anything with it; it was great by itself. However, it's not the best Moscato I've ever had. I'm glad we tried it, but for the price (about $20), it's not as good as I expected. I've paid less for Moscato in the past and been even more pleased.
However, props to the Palazzo for having everything you need to enjoy a bottle of wine in your room...wine glasses, bottle-size ice-bucket and even a corkscrew. Ahh!
Happy drinking!
