Thanks in advance for all suggestions!!  |
I suggest that you try an Ice wine or Eiswein, as they are called in Germany. They are a desert wine so they are sweet. The grape is picked after the first frost, so their is more sugar in the juice that is squeezed while making the wine. They do cost a bit more, some are $15 while others are $50 and up, but you will not be disappointed. Here are names of a few that I have tried Some I ordered through our local wine shop, visited the winery, or others I was able to get it stores like Krogers, Meijer and Trader Joes. Schlink Haus 2005 , Weingut Schick 2003 Silvaner Eiswein, Jackson Triggs 2003 Vidal Icewine, Fireland winery Icewine 2007, Dillnamm 2004 Icewine,Rudolff Muller Rheinhessen Eiswein 2004. Inniskilln Riesling Niagra Penimsula Icewine 2006, Covey Run Yakina Vallel Reserve Semillion Icewine 2005.
Another sweeter wine that I have tried and liked is a Plum wine, Fu-KI Plum, its about $12 for a bottle.
I hope this helps a bit.
