Muscat Grapes

Hi Andy:
That's the impression I get, kind of like Ben Rotters lengthy list of
Pinot Noir 'styles'. The real answer I suppose is, 'it depends', like
just about anything else.
The good thing I get from the lack of very specific info on how to
vint' Muscat is the grape must be more flexible that I think. Hope
so!

Flexible it is. Some people don't really care for the grape because of
the aromatics (it's called Muscat for a reason), but I've found good
examples in just about every style.
Personally, I would let the grapes at harvest determine the style. If
they come in at a high brix, may a dessert wine. Medium brix, make a
dry white. Low brix, try your hand at a sparkling wine.
