I would never tell you that it's okay to drink a bottle of wine that has been sitting in your refrigerator for a week - unless it was bubbly that had a really tight stopper in it. And even that is dicey.
But today, I had a glass of week-old Muscat from... GASP... Temecula! Maurice Carrie (they spell it a bit differently than that), 2007 vintage. It was really all there - the nose had a fresh, green, lively quality to it, not unlike Sauvignon blanc. It was a tiny bit spritzy and very fresh (I said it) and fruit cocktail fruity.
I can see the 2007 Maurice Car'rie Muscat being a great foil to some spicy prawns or a really good Kung Pao.
And it won't break the bank.


I have to agree, I keep a bottle of this Muscat in the fridge all the time, whether its been open or not, it always refreshing
