wine recs

ok so I am newly getting into wine. what ones do you girls like. I definitly like fruity sweet stuff ( NOTHING dry)   Examples of other stuff I drink are cosmos, margaritas, vodka and 7up, Arbor mist, hehe I know its sad but are there any wines out there that you think I should try?  The only "real" wine I've had is Casa larga Dolce rosso.  It was good but I'm wondering what else is out there. thanks :)

Re: wine recs

  • I'm pretty particular about my wines...I am a huge fruity drink girl :)

    I love Hazlitt's Cabin Fever & a new wine called Wisteria from Miles Wine Cellars (http://www.mileswinecellars.com/ourwines.asp) We had it for Christmas and it was sooo good. Everyone loved it.

  • Hmmmm.....sweet wines...the only two I can come up with are Red or White Cat by Hazlitt (Finger Lakes) and Svenska Blush by Swedish Hill (another FL wine).  I'm not a big sweet wine drinker.

    Oh yeah, thanks GLL, Wisteria from Miles Wine Cellars is good and Kat Knapp by Knapp Winery...both FL wines.

     

  • I don't think you can go wrong with Red Cat.  It's a yummy red wine, and it's sweet.  I also enjoy pinot grigio and reisling for white wines.  Barefoot and Yellow Tail are good brands.

  • I think the sweetest wine you ocan get is a Niagara wine. Arrowhead has a Niagara wine.  A lot of NY wineries have it. It tastes like grape juice.  Beringer white zifandel seems to be the beginning wine.  Everyone I know started out drinking white zin and then progressed towards reds.  Reisling and white merlot are also sweet.
  • I love sweet wines---Bully Hill has some good sweet ones (Sweet walter red or white). I also like one called Nivole-its kind of a dessert wine and sometimes hard to find, but very good! Riesling is usually pretty good if you get a semi-dry or sweeter one. White merlot isn't too bad either. A good sweeter red would be lambrusco.
  • Ditto the Bully Hill wines - they have a Sweet to Dry meter on the back telling you how sweet it is.  I think the Bully Hill Goat White is pretty sweet, as is their Niagara.  I love Riesling.  You probably want to stay away from Chardonnays and other oak-y tasting wines.

  • If you like sweet things..

    For red, you might try Lambrusco.. Its borderline "real" wine.. but this is where I started on wine.. There is also some of the NY state reds which are really sweet.. Bully Hill makes some Sweet Walter Red, and some others..Or the Red Cat. Then you can move on to other reds from there.

    Whites. I Love Riesling, but I hate NY state rieslings for whatever reason.. Riesling is just sweet enough for me but not too sweet. Moscato (Barefoot makes a nice one) is REALLY sweet too. And again.. Bully Hill makes some super sweet ones and there is another brand too.. something Diamond? Its also a NY state one.

  • thank you thank you girls! I knew I could count on you!! I might get some Bully Hill  or Red Cat for tonight. Thanks :)
  • My friend brought over a bottle of Yellow Tail sparkling wine the other day and it was really good!  Normally champagne-like wines are so dry but this one is nice and sweet- perfect for ringing in the new year!
