Sugar, sugar, sugar

I understand it's got be frustrating to everyone who's been scouting out wines for years when someone asks you about sweet wines. But then also imagine the shock of someone who spends, very often, a great deal of money on a good bottle of a beverage that's made from grapes, thinking, "Hey, I like grapes, so I've gotta like this," only to find out, shock of shocks, it actually tastes very little like grape! While this may seem silly and obvious, if you've never had a truly quality glass of wine before, that can be a huge letdown. I've been drinking wine for awhile, but I'm just now really getting into appreciating the complexities and nuances that go into a good glass...although even now, I still enjoy a good sweet dessert wine. And also, keep in mind, that the stereotype of wine conniseurs, however untrue, is that of the ultimate snob. So it actually can sometimes take a great deal of courage and desire to learn to ask someone of greater knowledge than yourself for some assistance...maybe instead of asking for a sweeter wine, the question should be, "If you love it so much, how is it that I don't? What am I missing?"

But even just the short time I've been meandering around here, everyone's posts have actually helped a great deal. Thanks for the patience with us rookies, and keep imparting the knowledge!
