Ménage à Trois (Menage a Trois) Moscato 2010 – Fòlie a deux Winery, 11.0% ABV – 750ml., (Napa, California, USA)
meaning of ‘Ménage à Trois’?: google says:
“an arrangement in which three people share a sexual relationship, typically a domestic situation involving a married couple and the lover of one of them.” But you already knew that, didn’t you?
on the back label:
“Good things comes in threes. Our Moscato mingles wines from three different growing areas, each crafted by a different winemaker. Lovely floral aromas and luscious peach/apricot flavors make it the perfectly sweet blend!”
- Style: (Moscato) White Wine

How much: $19 (after 10% off) – 750ml., September 2012
- Do I love this enough to drink it again: no
- Would I recommend this to wine aficionados: no, drinks cheap
Visual: Real cork, aluminum foil seal. Pours clear diluted apple juice yellow, a few very large bubbles along the perimeter
Nose: apple juice from concentrate, hints of apple cider vinegar. (lvl-5)-pungency
Attack: like juice, incoming sweetness
Mid-palate: (lvl-8)-sweetness, alcoholic bitterness, medium acidic sour, thin mouthfeel, (MAIN) from concentrate red apple juice, Welch’s white grape,
Finish: residual cloying sweetness, light tart, alcoholic throat warmth, peach/apricot exhale.
Summary: Best had with savoury dishes, currently its going down pretty decent with Japanese curry rice; Far too sugary sweet on its own, especially as it warms. Actually, every subsequent sip seems to compound in sweetness. It drinks like an inexpensive wine that it is
