Sweet wine is popular with a lot of people I know. My husband prefers his wine to be sweeter rather than bold. I use the term bold because that’s how I prefer my wine, but when you’re having company over you should consider their desires and I do need to take turns with my husband anyway on the wine flavors we enjoy together. Plus, I’ve found that most of my guests really do like the sweet wines. Every time I served one of the Turning Leaf wine bottles the bottle was empty before the guests were gone.
We received three different wine flavors from Turning Leaf, all were from the refresh line and all were sweet. My husband enjoyed all three, I enjoyed them too, they were great. And now that I’m sitting here remembering the taste of the Moscato pictured above I’m wishing I wasn’t out.
These wines are a new style of wine with a light, fizzy body. As the name implies, Refresh is crafted to offer a refreshing wine experience. Try this untraditional wine the next time you want something a bit different than a still wine or even a beer or cocktail. Serve chilled, or for even more refreshment, try serving on ice garnished with favorite fruits.
These are the flavors they sent us:
Moscato Refresh by Turning Leaf
Lighter in style than traditional still versions. It features aromatic floral notes with a citrus and orange blossom taste. From salsas to curries to your favorite wings, the sweeter flavor and cooling fizz will provide a tasty balance to spicy foods. It’s also a great match for creamy cheeses like Brie or as a fresh pairing for a favorite dessert.

Red Moscato Refresh by Turning Leaf
Try pairing this wine with burgers fresh off the grill or a rack of ribs. The red fruit notes, refreshing fizz and crisp finish offers everything you love in red wine, but in an even more refreshing sip than a traditional still wine or even a beer or a cocktail. The Red Moscato offers peach and floral notes with layers of fresh red fruits and a crisp finish.

Madria Sangria Moscato
Offers all the flavors of traditional sangria in one easy-open bottle, so BBQ hosts can simply pour over ice and serve. Fresh or frozen fruit also add a refreshing twist for those looking to take it up a notch. A light-bodied and fruity white sangria, Madria Sangria Moscato offers a tropical blend of Moscato wine with hints of orange, peach and apple for just the right amount of sweetness and refreshment.
