Mutable Muscat

We love the many faces of Muscat. Whether it’s sparkling, sweet, or dry, it holds a place in our hearts. It has a complex fragrance and compelling texture that makes it a magnet for all types of dishes.

When cooking for Muscat, simple is best. Grilled fish with citrus, herbs and aromatic steamed rice, roast chicken with lemon and fennel, or moist cornbread brimming with the flavor of fresh sweet corn, slathered with salted butter and just a drizzle of honey or maple syrup. This cornbread is one of my go-to recipes when summer corn is in season.

Serve the cornbread as a side for simple BBQ and homemade baked beans. Don’t worry about treading on the delicate nuances of the Muscat. It will surprise you and rise to the occasion, as it always does, with its sultry floral notes and dry, tongue-tingling finish.

All the more reason to love it!

Until the next wine…
