There are dessert wines, but you will have to go to a wine specialty store. I kind of don't like them...too sweet. Try some South African red wines. SO GOOD! I'm a red person myself. Love Shiraz, Zinfandel (not white) or Pino Noir. Cab is good....but I like the extra bite from a Shiraz. I recommend Zabaco Zinfandel...it's good! Or Trapiche. Tres Ojos cab is yummy! Otherwise it's the South African and Australian jump off for me! I always have to get boyfriend muscadine wine tho. He doesn't like the kick that reds give me. If you like sweet get them types. I also get White Merlot if we drink together...You know that stereotype...only people that drink white zinfandel are trashy folk trying to be classy! ha ha! So I dont let that in my house! ha ha! I'm so duped! | |

I wouldn't mind trying something differnet, but I've yet to find another white that isn't a chardonnay that I like. no, can't say that i care for them at all. for a sweeter white, i like a Riesling, and for dryer wines, i love Gruener Veltliner (from Austria), Vouvray, and Pinot Grigio. Pinot Grigio is my favorite white. | |

I love St. Julian's Red Heron. It's more of a blush wine, though. Semi-dry and under $10. It's de-lish!
I love going to St. Julian's store in Dundee, MI. We go in there, and will be like, "I don't know what I'm looking for, but I like a semi-dry red wine." And they will start pouring glasses of wine for you to try. It's fun. I usually walk out of there with a slight buzz and a bag of three or four different wines. Their peach-passionfruit spumante is heavenly, but I guess that's more of a Summer drink. | |
