- DCopen - 02-09-2004 I need Help. I'm trying to figure out what kind of wine to pick up for my Girlfriend and I for V-Day. This is my first time buying any kind of wine. All I know is that she loves sweet wines and I needs to go with Dark Chocolate. I saw a suggestion for Bonny Doon's Framboise Raspberry wine but I don't believe that the local College wine store carries that particular wine. Any help would be wonderful! Thanks, Doug - Thomas - 02-09-2004 Have no idea where you are but you should be able to find a bottle of ruby port. [This message has been edited by foodie (edited 02-09-2004).] - DCopen - 02-09-2004 Is there a particular Brand that I should look for or stay away from? I'm in Athens Ohio. It's just a small little college town so I don't think we'll have anything too expensive. Please feel free to throw out some suggestions, Please. Doug - Thomas - 02-09-2004 Still hard to know what is in your stores--look for Offley Ruby Port--inexpensive stuff, good and from one of a few port houses still owned by Portuguese. - quijote - 02-10-2004 If you don't find Foodie's rec, you might consider Buller and Son's Tawny Port (from Australia). Several of us on the board tried it and loved it. (And I thought it went well with chocolate mousse.) - Tastevin - 02-10-2004 Buller and Son's Tawny Port (from Australia) not bad for an imitation 'Port'. T - wineguruchgo - 02-10-2004 Hello DCopen, There is another alternative to Port for VDay. You can buy some inexpensive bubbly (ie: Frexinet Cava) and some Dekuper Raspberry Liquor. The raspberry will sweeten up the bubbly and give it a beautiful red color. Have fun! |
