Flipflop Wines Review...Moscato & Riesling

As a Florida mommy flipflops are a staple in my wardrobe and now in my wine choice too! In the past few years I have tried a few wines here and there but lately I have been getting into enjoying them more. A few friends of mine are adamant wine drinks so when flipflop wines contacted me I knew we had to get together and have our own little wine tasting.

Moscato:

As soon as I mention a flipflop wine tasting, two of my girlfriends told me how much they love the Moscato. I had already noticed the popularity of the Moscato on flipflop wines facebook page so I knew we had to try even if it wasn't included in the review wines. A few nights before the actual wines I was going to review arrived, we opened a bottle of Moscato and like many others before I fell in love. I'm definitely a sweet wine kind of girl, so this wine was perfect. Actually this wine has fast become my favorite go to wine and even the hubby enjoyed it a few nights ago when we cooked up some chicken alfredo.
