Quady Deviation Infused Orange Muscat NV: Andy Quady, blessed with a wicked sense of humor, founded his winery in Madera, in the central San Joaquin Valley, to make classic dessert wines. Included in his portfolio are splendid Muscat-based wines and port-style wines. But because it's not legal to call the latter by the name of the similar wine from Portugal [Port], Quady renamed his Starboard. His Muscat wines include a delightful Orange Muscat called Essensia, a black Muscat called Elysium, and a low-alcohol Orange Muscat, called Electra. For this new wine, Quady said he thought it would be fun to make a n++love potionn++ dessert wine, n++so we infused Damiana and Scented Geranium into our Essensia Orange Muscat dessert wine. He said damiana is a plant with a pleasant herbal character reputed to have aphrodisiac properties,n++ though the wine isnn++t advertised as an actual love potion. Quady added that scented geranium is said to be used in witchcraft where practitioners supposedly employ its hauntingly seductive aroma in love potions. It is impossible to describe this truly exotic dessert wine. Reviewed July 24, 2007 by Dan Berger, for Appellation America.
