find a good tasting wine to replace....

[dananne]

When traveling through Missouri a few weeks ago, I noticed that most grocery stores and wine shops had a wide selection of local MO wines that range across the dryness spectrum, with many falling into the "sweet" or "semisweet" categories. I'm not sure if any are available in your state to the south, but if they are, it'd be a good place to start. They typically range from $8 to $17 a bottle.

You should be able to find Lambrusco in Arkansas -- Riunite is pretty widely available and should fit your bill for a sweeter red wine.
