New to Wine

[Innkeeper]

Here as some more options. For whites look for chenin blanc, paticularly in the Loire Valley Vouvray. Most American chenins are off dry as well, again unless says "Dry" on the bottle. These are very inexpensive with the Vouvray going not far over $10.

Off dry reds other than Lambrusco are a little harder to come buy. I like Mt Pleasant, not far from you in MO (http://www.mountpleasant.com/). They, like most other wineries east of the Rocky Mts make wines across the sweetness spectrum. They have an off dry Highland Red ($5.99) and a dry Augusta Village ($9.99) both made from the same grapes. Get one of each and try the dry one first and see how that goes.
