It resembled a muscat in being golden and sickingly sweet, and it tasted of honey and fruit.  It was a bit alcoholic, though, reminding me of a madeira.  It had a smooth, yet bitter finish.  We both liked it.<br \/>\nAlas, I&#8217;m puzzled as to what this wine actually is.  I researched it on the internet, and dolcetto is a <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dolcetto\">black grape<\/a> from Italy.  The wine it produces is dark red, as I confirmed by doing a search of images of dolcetto.  This one, as mentioned, was golden colored.  Still, the bitter finish is associated with dolcetto &#8211; was it for that, I&#8217;d just conclude it was a mislabeled muscat.<br \/>\nThe wine was produced by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vintnerscellar.com\/\">Vintner&#8217;s Cellar<\/a>, a make-your-own-wine chain.  It&#8217;s labeled as a Vintner&#8217;s Cellar wine, so I don&#8217;t know if this means that they made it, or if the person who donated it made it there but did not use a customized label.  To add to the puzzlement, Vintner&#8217;s Cellar at least now does not offer dolcetto or muscat.  Also, there is no Vintner&#8217;s Cellar in this area, so this wine must have travel somewhat.<br \/>\nAll that said, it was pretty good, and we are sure to finish it.<br \/>\n<br clear=\"all\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night we opened the bottle of Vintner&#8217;s Cellar Dolcetto we won at the &#8220;Day at the Casa&#8221; raffle a couple of weeks ago.
