Castoro Cellars 2006 Muscat CanelliIn my ongoing quest to find something new and exciting in the aisles of Trader Joe's I thought I'd give this wine a whirl. Oh MY God. It's just awful. Probably should have realized it wasn't going to win any awards by the $3.99 price tag and screw top (yes I know it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that screw top = cheap ass wine but quite honestly, I liked the look of the bottle). And I like blended wines with Muscato so I thought perhaps I'd enjoy a full bodied Muscat. Not the case.
I'm trying to sip a glass of it as I type and it's giving me heart burn, acid reflux, a headache and spastic colon all at the same time. I never even knew that was possible. It's really quite disappointing since I was hoping this battery acid would compliment one of my favorite appetizers, Trader Joe's Pastry bites with feta cheese and carmelized onions. I highly recommend this dish and if you pair it with a green salad, you've got yourself one delicious meal. But I hate to waste food or drink so I think this wine will serve a higher purpose and eat away at the rust stains in the toilet. It's seriously that bad.
