Best Buy! Natalie Conway-Barnes continues to share the winemaking credit with her father, Mike, and they work with vines two decades old for this delicious Muscat made in an off-dry style. Notes of honeyed lemon tea, peach and cantaloupe run from start to finish, and there’s enough juiciness to balance the 1% residual sugar for a lingering farewell. Elena Conway, Natalie’s mother, is a noted cookbook author, and she suggests serving this with her Mushroom Tart — a recipe that’s published in one of her books.
