sweet (or semi-sweet) red wines?

[Innkeeper]

Hi Ilag, and welcome to the Wine Board. Have never tasted a Pinot Grigio that was anything except bone dry. GTs can be dry or slightly off dry. Maybe what you think is sugar is fruit. There are many fruity reds. Beaujolais is one. The 2002 Nouveau is not recommended (bad year). Try 2001 Beaujolais Villages or the lighter Cru Beaujolais (Brouilly, Fleurie). There are also many fruity Italian reds. Check with your retailer.
