- Paste	Moscato d'Asti DOCG	2015	Top 100	Apr-2017
Review “Moscato d’Asti is not everyone’s cup of … juice, but for those who like their sparklies to be dessert-esque, keep an eye out for the Moscato d’Asti DOC. These wines are made from the rather ancient Moscato Bianco grape, in or around Asti in northwestern Italy. They are sweet, fizzy and low in alcohol. Oh, and if you want your hip-hop cred to be unassailable, please know that this stuff has replaced Champagne (Lucky for you, because try finding Cristal for $20 a bottle.) Ceretto’s Moscato is bright straw-yellow with an intense, perfumed nose (fruity/spicy) with a light-bodied, nicely acid-balanced finish.”
François Montand - Paste	Brut Blanc de Blancs	N/V	Top 100	Apr-2017
Review “In the “French knowhow without the Champagne fancy-neighborhood price” category, this white blend (mostly Colombard, Chardonnay and Ugni Blanc, also known as Trebbiano) hails from the Jura region and is made in the traditional method. Pale gold wine with greenish reflexes; delicate perlage. Intensely perfumed white-flower nose (jasmine, citrus blossom, maybe honeysuckle) gives way to a beautifully balanced “yellow” heart (yellow apple, lemon, brioche). Creamy mouthfeel, pleasant, lingering finish, great structure. A lovely aperitif but feel free to pair it with just about anything.” (#70)
Szigeti - Paste	Grüner Veltliner Brut	N/V	Top 100	Apr-2017
Review “An Austrian sekt made from the Grüner Veltliner grape, which you more commonly find as a still white. Grüner is a “light-bodied” wine in the extreme; in fact it can be a bit watery if it’s not handled well. Not to worry here. Szigeti’s sparkling version is definitely a casual wine, but it’s not lacking in flavor. Tart acidity, large bubbles and a short, almost sharp finish highlight a strongly lemony character. This is a great, equal-opportunity food wine, refreshing and non-overwhelming and plain tasty. I recently had a spicy Vietnamese clay-pot stew that probably would have gone great with this. It will put heavy sauces in perspective.” (#97)
Zardetto - Paste	Private Cuvée Brut	N/V	Top 100	Apr-2017
Review “Intense straw color, lovely perlage (that’s French for ‘the bubbles hang around for a long time’), highly aromatic with lots of peach, pear and green apple on the approach. Floral flipside, with a lemon-like finish. Rich and substantial, but not a drama queen. This one’s a great seafood wine, but again, don’t think you have to restrict yourself to seafood. It’s a team player.”
