- SandiJ - 03-23-2000 I'm not looking to become a wine expert, or even close to one. I'm just hoping someone can give me the name of a wine that I could enjoy as an all around wine. In Canada, I could pick one by the number rating...0 being very dry, 10 was very sweet. I found the ones I liked to be around a 4-5. Right in the middle. Can anyone give me a suggestion about which wine would be a good one to try? Thanks!! Sandi - mrdutton - 03-23-2000 Well, I'll give it a try. Here is my best guess at what may be some medium sweet wines: White: Lambrusco (Italy) Mosel (Germany) Riesling Kabinett (Germany, Austria) Riesling Spatlese (Germany, Austria) Chenin Blanc (California) Cotes de Bergerac (France) Orvieto Abboccato (Italy) Vouvray Moelleux (France) Sweet Sparkling or Champagne: Asti Spumante (Italy) Sweet Sket (Germany) Sweet Proscecco (Italy) Demi-Sec Champagne (France) Fortified Wines: Medium Amontillado sherry (spain) - SandiJ - 03-24-2000 Thanks mrdutton. Your list will at least give me a starting point. Much better than walking into a wine shop and being overwhelmed by the many varities and not having anay idea what to ask for. Thanks again, |
