Staff Pick Notes

There is nothing less cool these days than sweet wine, but I implore you to give this one a chance. Sweet wines were once prized by kings from Tokaji, Hungary and Sauternes, France. And Piedmont used to be known for its sweet wines like Brachetto d'Acqui and Moscato d'Asti (now it's known for astringent reds like Barolo and Barbera D'Alba).

The low alcohol and slight bubbles keep it fresh. Try it!
