new to the area - looking for good red wines

[Innkeeper]

Hi Mslw, and welcome to the Wine Board. If you're talking about sweet red table wine, versus dessert wine; your choices may be slim. In the Eastern U.S.A. many small wineries make dry, off dry, and sweet red wines, but you won't find any over there. The most common international sweet red is the Italian Lambrusco. Look for it, and ask at the source of many choices of wines from all over the world for other choices.

Labels usually give you much information on sweetness for reds. Obviously, you don't want one that says "Dry Red Wine."
