Hello everyone,
As most vets on this board can probably tell, I am a newbie. Also, as my name suggests, I am a rookie when it comes to wines.
Not a big fan of wine myself, I am planning on buying a friend of mine a bottle of wine for her birthday present. She likes the sweet red type. Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help in advance. [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img]

Hi Rook, and welcome to the Wine Board. If we knew where you lived, might be able to help you with a local wine. Most wineries east of the Rockies make off dry red wines. Therefore, look for a Lambrusco other than Reunite. If you want to spend a little more and want a dessert wine or late evening sipper, try a Port.
