While this may be an easy sentiment to overlook in daily life, a growing crop of museum bars are a fresh reminder that there’s art present in all we do.

A lively dessert wine made from orange muscat grapes, this wine hits all of 8.5% alcohol in the bottle, making for a decidedly crushable after-dinner experience. Surprisingly, it’s far less sweet than most late harvest wines I’ve encountered, with notes of apple cider and orange blossoms hitting first, a light vinegar quality adding some peppery buzz to the experience.
