Note from Ricardo

Muscat is a natural sweet wine that is usually drank as an aperitif. France produce many muscats, the most famous are the Beaumes de Venise Muscat, Rivesaltes Muscat and the St Jean de Minervois Muscat. Greece also produces a delicious Muscat, the Samos, less expensive than previous wines. You drink it as is or you can use it for cooking, as in this "dessert" soup.
