Hi Canadian Girl and welcome to the Wine Board. For #s 1,2,& 4 you want a white dessert wine such as Sauternes or any late harvest white so long as it says "late harvest" on the label. For #s 3 & 5 you want a red dessert wine such as Port or Banyuls.

How about an Ice wine.

[Innkeeper]

I think of Ice Wine as something to drink by itself rather than with a dessert. However to each his/her own.
