new wine drinker looking for something sweet

[Thomas]

Just for the record: concord grapes are no sweeter than any other grape used to make wine, depending upon ripeness and climate, of course.

The wines madrobigirl (whew!) posted are wines made with added sweetness, plus they have that so-called "foxy" native grape quality, which isn't foxy at all (ever smell or taste a fox?), just grapey.

And a blanket statement about American Rieslings called dry not being dry--need to define the word dry (relative to wine) before making such a claim. Dry does not necessarily mean lack of sugar.

As for Bully Hill Vineyards, most of their wines are produced from French-American hybrids, some are produced from Vitis labrusca, and a small lot are produced from Vitis vinifera grapes. Just about all their wines are laced with substantial residual sugar.
