Dessert Wine

We were on the hunt for good dessert wines since the past three years. I have listed some of our personal favorites. Bear in mind, I don’t drink too much nor have any clue about smell & colors. I go by my taste…

• Castello del Poggio Moscato

Winery: Castello del Poggio

Varietal: Muscat Blanc À Petits Grains

Region: Italy > Piemonte > Asti

Color: Straw-yellow with golden reflections and a delicate mousse.

Apple pear flavor. Sweet but not at all cloying; well-balanced and with an extremely refined fruitiness.

Available in Olive Garden @ ~$6/glass. Not easy to find outside but if you can do let me know!! It is around $12+ online add shipping. Alcohol : 5.5%

 

 

 

• Taylor’s Port

Winery: Taylor Family Vineyards Varietal: Blend
Region: USA > New York
Type: Dessert/Fortified
Color: Red

Tastes like Port Wine you can get in India. Reminds me of younger times!! Very cheap option – you can buy a 750ml for just $5.95 with 18% alcohol

A rich, fruity taste and smooth finish make Taylor Port the perfect choice to pair with your favorite dessert. It is a moderately sweet, ruby red port and is delicious for evening sipping. Serve over ice or at room temperature, with a twist, or with soda. More info…

• Green Apple Blossom
