After Dinner Wines

[Innkeeper]

Hi Sergio. Dessert consists of different kinds of food. Like dinner, different foods match with different foods. The main difference is that dinner wine is dry and dessert wine is sweet.

Chocolate likes red wine. Port, Late Harvest Zin, and various sweet reds from wineries east of the Rocky Mts all work, and have varying degrees of sweetness.

Many fruits and white or yellow cakes, tarts, light puddings, and combinations thereof call for a white wine. Sweet Sherrys, or Marsala (with Italian dishes) work. My favorite is Bonny Doon, Muscat, Vin de Glaciere.

I have found that the easiest place to find dessert wine is at wineries. Everyone seems to make one, even if it never gets to market. Be sure you have a sufficient supply of those teeny tiny dessert wine glasses.
