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

Castello del Poggio Moscato d'Asti (2007)

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

 

  • Taylor’s Marsala

Winery: Taylor Family Vineyards
Varietal: Marsala
Region: Italy > Sicily > Marsala
Type: Table WineColor: Red

Deeply golden, warm and fruity, Taylor Marsala is a classic flavor in gourmet cooking and a smooth satisfying dessert wine. It is a creamy, medium sweet marsala with raisin-like flavoring. A delicious gourmet touch in recipes or for sipping. Serve at room temperature. More Info...

Very cheap option – you can buy a 1.5L for just $8.95 with 18% alcohol

 

 

  • Green Apple Blossom
Winery: Adirondack Winery

Varietal: Gewürztraminer
Region: USA > New York
Type: Fruit Wine
Color: White

This straw-colored white wine is intensely flavorful, reminiscent of a freshly cut green apple. The pleasant soft acidity and luscious, fruity aroma of this crisp wine make it a great refresher.

750ml, 8% Alcohol by Volume $13.50

If you ever visit Adirondack Park – Lake George region do not miss Adirondack Winery & Tasting Room. They have a good variety of wines.
