Just because Drake told you to do it...

OK people, I'm back...this had just been sitting in limbo never published...so I'll start off with something that has been on my mind for quite a few months!


Ladies and Gentlemen (yes there are some former Zima drinking men that this is addressed to as well)-

It all started off as fun and games but I have a SERIOUS concern for the massive amount of people I see acting like Moscato is a delicious, acceptable, EVERY occasion wine..IT IS NOT!


Some people are going to be upset about this as they sit at work dying to get to their large size Moscato on chill to "help them unwind" after their stressful workday. More power to you and please if you really enjoy drinking fortified dessert wine by the gallon that is great, but let's stop acting like this is some kind of symbol of status or better yet an acceptable drink of choice because we were told it was by the rapper Drake. No one knew what Moscato was until he decided it rhymed with the word "bravo". He also decided that it was meant to be consumed with lobster and shrimp, so it is now paired with some of our more gourmet meals.


I mean some people even think it can be cooked with:


RT @MR_NOFLAW Soo I'm steaming sum fish and I poured sum moscato in it 2 see what its gon 2 taste like...always experimenting in the kitchen


-via Twitter




Anyways this isn't meant to knock anyone's taste because I truly believe as people of color we have a penchant for sweet things (tea, kool-aid whatever) But I am just hoping we can put cheap Moscato and keep Moscato in the category it is (think Hypnotiq, Boone's Farm etc.) So please don't bring bottles as housewarming gifts or look for Sutter Home Moscato on the wine list (it wont be there!)


Thanks for listening,


Miss KK
