Well...I do like Moscato. Sweetness is my weakness.

But not TOO sweet. Japanese plum wine is too sweet for me.

Cabernet Sauvignon is my go-to wine normally.




Although in all honesty LadyC, it doesn't matter on you. Just pour, lay back & enjoy the show.

I have never tried Japanese plum wine, I want to see how sweet it is.

Ugh, I went to one winery and the dessert wine was so sweet it should have been re-named
Diabetes-In-A-Bottle. Even as a sweet wine lover, I couldn't take more than two sips of it.

I would rather have you in restraints and let YOU enjoy the show...

I have sort of a weird wine thing in that I like to drink whites and rosés in the summer, and reds in the winter. (Unless it's summer and I'm having a steak - always red with steak.)

In the last couple summers, I've really gotten into vinho verde (Portuguese), but I like anything that is light and crisp, with citrus or green apple tones. Wines that are sweet or have notes of melon or peach, I will pour right down the drain - or fob off on my niece who, as a beginner drinker, still likes that stuff. A friend and I call those wines "skanky gewurtzraminers."

With reds, I don't care for anything too tannic or astringent. I like my reds juicy and silky, with berry, cherry, chocolate and tobacco notes - pinot noir, malbec, tempranillo. Sweetie just found a $4 tempranillo at Trader Joe's that satisfies both of us - he's Malbec and I'm Pinot Noir.

I also enjoy light/crisp wines. I am not a fan of melon in wines, but I do enjoy peach and pear notes.
They remind me of my teen years, having grown up around peach trees and the like...drinking my
youth

There is a Trader Joe's not too far from me, for $4 I can afford to try the tempranillo without being
sad if I hate it.

I prefer red over white.

Mostly I'm a fan of Austrian, French, and Italian ruby-coloured Zweigelts and Pinot Noirs (sometimes a good Chianti will do, too). I also like barrique wines.

What I don't like is too fruity/peachy ones (Blaufränkisch for instance).

I don't believe any of the wines I am drinking have sugar added after the fermentation process...(I could be wrong)

It sounds like I don't have any wine that you would enjoy, gotta bring your own bottle

Most wines do. And it's nothing condemnable; it's even necessary in most cases (unless they're Greek or Argentine or South African). But the amount and the stage when it is added make the significant difference.

The first time I ever had plum wine was at an authentic Korean restaurant...the wine itself was Japanese I believe, & it actually had a small plum inside. It was terrific!

Then I bought a bottle of whatever plum wine was available at my local liquor store (also Japanese I believe) and it was atrociously sweet. Could not drink more than one or two sips.

But some Sangria will suffice for the show.

The tempranillo is La Granja. Apparently, it's pretty popular, so you might want to call to see if they have it.

I enjoy KidMelody's whines!
