Exploring Dessert Wines (Attn: All Sweet Wine Lovers)

Posted by The ClassicWines.com Team | Tuesday, September 23, 2008

Topic: All about dessert wines

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.

I consider myself a wine lover, but I definitely under utilize dessert wines. So much so that I couldn't even tell you the last one I had. I'm starting to wonder if it's just because I don't know enough about when to enjoy them! Thanks for the tips here.
