There is a certain level of trust that I share with The Winey Daughter. I trust that she will tell me if I need to change parts – or all – of an outfit. I trust she will alert me if I have spinach in my teeth. I trust that she will never ever ever forget to send me her birthday/Christmas list (the two days are not far apart, so it’s normally a massive list). I also trust that she can listen to my description in a phone call and buy me a yummy bottle of wine.

I decided it was time to give some of these “lighter” wines a try. I started off with two that were readily available to me: Barefoot Wines Bright and Breezy Chardonnay and Rosé.

I fully admit that I am a sucker for red blends. I mean, I have had such wonderful experiences with them! How can you go wrong if you take a bunch of wonderful reds and mix ’em together? Ok, it’s a LOT more complicated than that, but in my humble opinion, a red blend brings out the best in each wine used to make it.

That’s my story with Invitation Wines by Chateay Souverain. I have seen it in grocery stores, wine stores and big box stores alike. So I finally pulled to cork and decided to try some. I was in the mood for white wine, the Chardonnay was staring me in the cart, so I grabbed some.

The wine in question is Oliver Winery and Vineyard’s Lemon Moscato (Indiana, 6.8 AB, NV). I have been a big fan of the winery for a while now, having my first sip of one of their wines over a decade ago.

This is such a refreshing wine – as well as a very easy sipping wine. (Hint: keep it as cold as you are able – the flavors really shine that way.)
