Nivole Moscato d'Asti 2024

9.1

2024. Another sentimental pickup at the store tonight. My wife and I used to get the 375 mL bottles of Nivole at a local liquor/wine store in Lincoln in the early 1990’s and that store just announced they were closing after 63 years. 😢 — 4 days ago

That always stinks when your old reliable stop & shop just gave you 2 the ol' shuttering down the doors🚪 news!

I really think it was all of the big box wine/beer/spirits stores that opened in the last few years that is making it harder for smaller single location businesses to keep going.

That’s sad about your local retailer!

@Peter van den Besselaar, the label says 1987, your note says 1986, and Delectable says it’s 2000 — hmmm, Who’s on First?

Peter van den Besselaar

@Doug Powers Thx. The label! I don’t know why Delectable describes 2000, tried to change the identified wine but that does not work.
