I love love. I love the feeling you get when you are falling in love and you know it has the potential to be something special, you just don't know how special. I remember when I first started falling in love with my husband. The butterflies in my stomach. The excitement from every phone call and text message. I knew it was going to be big, but I didn't know how big.
That's how I feel when I first discover a new wine that I love. Especially when I'm not expecting it. When I'm not looking for it. When it just appears, as if by magic, or fate. Destiny perhaps. That's how I feel about my latest discovery. It wasn't something I picked. It wasn't something I expected to like. But I think I might have fallen in love.
On Friday I had the opportunity to take a
seaplane to
Berrowra Waters Inn for lunch.

There we were treated to a fantastic degustation menu with matching wines.

| The wine! |
It was a fantastic meal, and the wine parings were lovely, but there was one stand out of the day. The delightful Nivole Moscato D'Asti from Michele Chiarlo . I'm not usually into desert wines, but I have finally found one I love. Slightly sweet, but refreshing. Light, with a little bit of bubbles. This wine was beautifully paired with fresh, cherries, raspberries and cherry sorbet. I am in love. It's made me want to go out and buy a barrel full of berries, and a case of this delightful drink. I think I'll have to buy some and try it with my hazelnut meringue with fresh berries and vanilla cream. Time to plan another dinner party!
