Sweet wines

[wondersofwine]

Loved Foodie's last comment about changing your friends, not the wine! Producers of Sauterne wines in France or Riesling Auslese or Beerenauslese wines in Germany would be shocked to hear that their wines are lowbrow. Barnesy has the right idea too about trying new things. I started out with a fondness for sweet German wines and common Lambrusco from Italy. I still like the sweet German wines and a very occasional Lambrusco, but I also now appreciate red and white burgundies, zinfandels and a variety of wines on the drier side. I'm doing a little exploration of less familiar Italian and Australian wines now, found a wine from Cyprus I like (on the sweet side), and will continue to expand my wine horizons. Also, you might try Beaujolais wines, they have a fruity quality you might like without being sugary.
