- redandblue - 11-04-2003
I am looking for both a red and white wine that is not too dry, not too sweet, just fruity enough that would go with anything. The only red wine I have been able to find is a zinfandel, but I know there must be something else out there that is not dry. If someone could help out with this I would be very appreciative.

Try a Beaujolais-Village or Beaujolais Cru (such as Fleurie or Cote de Brouilly) for a fruity tasting red wine. A German Riesling or Scheurebe Spatlese or Auslese might be a fruity off-dry white wine for you to try or you could try a Vouvray (Chenin Blanc grape) from the Loire Valley of France. If you want still sweeter--try the Italian Lambruscos (red wine) or Mavrodaphne (Greece).
