- DCopen - 02-09-2004
For V-Day I'm looking for a sweet red wine for my girlfriend to follow some dark chocolate. I live in Athens Ohio which is just a little college town with a small alcohol store with a fair wine selection. Anyone have any recommendations for a particularly easy to find wine? I'm just looking for a wine that's got some class to it.

Recommend a Port; from Portugal or even Australia. Would stay away from American versions. You should be able to find one or the other in any small wine store.

You may also want to look for a sparkling red from the Italian winery Banfi. It's called Rosa Regale. Sweet, bubbly raspberries in a glass. My wife loves it with chocolate. Runs about $20 and should be pretty widely available.
