Why I Love This Recipe

Another Muscat Pairing.... This time though, Moscato d'Asti is best... The effervescence of the wine is superb with this fruit and asparagus combination...

2 TB Cilantro; chopped
1 TB Key Lime Juice
1/2 tsp Lime zest or 1 thinly sliced makrut lime leaf lobe
1 1/4 tsp Fresh Ginger; minced
1 tsp Garlic; minced
1 TB Orange Blossom Honey
Salt & pepper to taste
1 lb Asparagus Spears; snap ends and cut to 2 inches
18 Ruby Red Grapefruit Segments (about 2 Grapefruits)
