I know I have said this before, but I SO love Nugget Markets!!
After attending a weekly wine tasting a few weeks back, I picked up a copy of their wine guide, which featured the wine consultants from each store; as well as several of their favorite wine selections!! You know that I am currently on a Magnolia Mission to find great Chardonnays under $10. So, naturally, any of their Chardonnay recommendations peaked my interest!
On the cover of the wine guide was a Chardonnay whose name alone got my attention. Musque.

The wine was described as being made from a Musque clone of Chardonnay. Musque is a French term that means “perfumed” or “Muscat-like.” SOLD!! I was all in. Although this would not fit into my Magnolia Mission, due to the $12.99 price tag, it was still a great value for this very unique wine.
The sweet aromas of this wine bounced out of the glass. Oranges and peaches tickled my nose. I could not wait to taste it. What joy!! I really like Muscat wines, however, at times, the sweetness can be a bit overpowering for me. I love Chardonnay. Usually I prefer those with a lot of fruit-forward flavor, with hints of a buttery finish. This wine is the best of both worlds! An elegant Chardonnay with a hint of sweetness!! I was so taken by this wine, that I did a little research and was able to find a video on You Tube. Enjoy and Smoochez!!!!
