When most wine-drinkers think of Piedmont, they think of red wines like Barolo, Barbaresco, Ruché and Barbera d’Asti. However, this region -- specifically the area around the city of Asti -- is the home of wonderful Italian sparkling wines made with the local, aromatic white grape Moscato. In fact, Asti is the first region in Italy to produce commercial sparkling wines, over 150 years ago.

当大多数喝酒的人想到皮埃蒙特(Piedmont)时, 他们想到的是巴罗洛（Barolo）、巴巴莱斯科（Barbaresco）、鲁切（Ruche）和阿斯蒂巴贝拉（Barbera d’Asti）等红葡萄酒。然而, 这个地区——特别是阿斯蒂市（Asti）周围地区——是意大利阿斯蒂（Asti）起泡酒的故乡, 由当地的芳香型白葡萄品种莫斯卡托（Moscato，又译麝香）酿制。事实上, 在150多年前, 阿斯蒂是意大利第一个生产商业起泡葡萄酒的地区。

In a small corner of southwest France, bounded by the Mediterranean Sea, the border of Spain and a small mountain range, there sits a quiet yet mighty winemaking area called Roussillon. Wines have been made here for millennia. Centuries ago, knights from many countries established hilltop castles here, fought battles over land and religion, and departed from these shores for pilgrimages to the Holy Land. For over 500 years, Roussillon has been known for its abundant fortified sweet wines, bursting with concentration and flavor. The wines are made with both red and white grapes, and they are only slightly higher in alcohol than table wines. They are made to last, often as much as 50 years. This wine category is called Vin Doux Naturel in French, which is easily abbreviated to VDN.

A mature red wine from California’s Napa Valley is a modern-day treasure. And when you have an older vintage of a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, you have a very rare treasure. But more than a treasure, it can be a treat for the senses, when served with the right foods.
