Muscadine of Tennessee

My friend, Kim, an editor for Southern Living magazine who lives in Alabama, recently told me about this winery in Tennessee that's famous for its muscadine. Muscadine? Never heard of it. She quickly filled me in. Muscadine is a sweet wine. The muscadine grape, also known as a scuppernong, is native to Florida. Southerners often prefer their wine sweet to dry, according to Kim, which explains why there's a run on muscadine.

Highland Manor Winery, 14 miles north of Nashville, can't make enough cases of this white wine to satisfy the masses. It costs $9.99 (cheap, so it's up our alley), but it's a limited reserve. The winery won two gold medals for this wine in Madrid, though it doesn't say which medals on the website. I will try to get my hands on a bottle to review it, though it might be easier to get NBA playoff tickets than a bottle of this stuff, even if you do live in Tennessee.
