Exploring Dessert Wines (Attn: All Sweet Wine Lovers)

Written By: Classic Wines team on Tue, Sep 23rd 2008

Brian Freedman is extra sweet in today's episode as he guides you through the ins and outs of dessert wines. Dessert wine, which is interchangeably referred to as sweet wine, is often mistaken as something that must be enjoyed accompanying dessert. This false assumption can lead the unsuspecting wine drinker astray, as too much sweetness can overload the palate. Depending on style and alcohol level, certain sweet wines can be enjoyed on their own or with contrasting food elements. Watch this week's ClassicWines TV episode as Brian gives you the inside scoop regarding dessert wines. Wine sampled in today's episode is the Sandeman Founders Reserve Porto.
