There's one time one time only that I crave a moscato d'asti and that's when Jonathan makes a strawberry almond tarte. Today, we had both on the deck with my father-in-law and step-mother-in-law for Fathers Day. It was probably more vibrant a couple of years ago, but the extra gave it some additional almond notes which went even better with the tarte. At 5.5% alcohol, it felt weightless, even on a warm day outside. I advise everyone to reach for this when eating strawberry desserts of all sorts.

Moscato d'Asti face-off (Old Airport Road): Light straw yellow colour. Fresh white flowers on the nose, more expressive than the Vietti Moscato d'Asti. A bit more fizzy than the Vietti also. Honeyed pear on the palate, with lemon lime towards the finish. Very refreshing mouth-feel. Overall slightly more enjoyable than the Vietti. This is more of a "party-party" Moscato, the Vietti is more of a "chill-out" Moscato.

Berry Bros. & Rudd Tasting - The Luxury Network (Audi Centre Singapore): Light floral nose. Honeyed pear on the palate. Refreshing acidity. Smooth and nicely sweet. Hints of lemon at the end. Medium finish.
