Muscat has been passé for almost a generation, so it’s no wonder the Austro-Hungarian muscat ottonel variety has been all but forgotten (resulting in the absurdly low price). Spearmint and licorice flavours in a zesty, off-dry style. Perfect with sushi, and don’t hold back on the ginger and wasabi. LCBO 640516
