If it comes in a box, stay away. | ||

Try a Riesling. Way too sweet for my palate but for someone who prefers a desert wine... | ||

Sancerre is a fabulous (French) desert wine. My favourite. If it's your anniversary have it with oysters. Rocket | ||

Oysters for desert? What are you thinking? Oysters for appetizer, and desert after the sex! | ||

On the table!  | ||

If you want a sweet dessert wine, go with something asian. Japanese and Chinese have some very sweet wines, but it's all in your taste, and of course, the meal being served. | ||

There is a raspberry merlot sold by Williamsburg winery. The only way to drink it is by taking a bite of dark chocolate then a swig of the wine. Add some candles and a cozy setting...  http://www.williamsburgwinery.com/raspberry-merlot.htm It would be worth it even if you have to pony up for a FEDEX. Trust me. | ||

'Late Picked' or Botrytis Rieslings are probably the sweetest dessert wines. Anything from Australia will be fine!   | ||

Look for a "Moscato d'Asti" for a dessert wine. For something a little closer to a sweet champagne, "Asti Spumante." Can't go wrong with either of those! | ||

EIS WINE can't go wrong here, picked after the frost it is outstanding, and has a high concentration of alcohol too  There are some good local makers as well. I too do not care for sweet wine but here I make an exception. | ||

I also luv desert wines, a couple of my favorites... Bonny Doon Framboise "Infusion of Raspberry" Bonny Doon Muscat Vin de Glacière Elysium black muscat wine --> goes well with chocolate!!! | ||

"Try a Riesling. Way too sweet for my palate..." I had a glass of Riesling (can't remember the vintner) that was so sweet, I found it almost undrinkable. Should be perfect if that's what you want. | ||

A fruit flavored Zinfidel might be good. I got some strawberry flavored stuff for my girlfriend, and it was actually pretty good. I hate sweet things, and this wasn't too sweet at all. | ||

For desert try Dubonet or a good tawny port. Some port is very reasonably priced too. Serve over ice if you like. Add some ginger ale for a nice wine cooler.  | ||

Boones makes some kick ass fruity stuff. If you are willing to spend the extra fifty cent MD 20/20 is hard to beat (hard to drink as well). | ||
| Firebolteric_ma |
MMMmmmmmmm...Boones farm strawberry is the best. Twist off the cap and drink from the bottle. I love that stuff since a kid.  | ||

Try a German spiced wine, Gloeb Vine?(Glow Wine, or Christmas Wine), its a grape wine with spices, served slightly warmed, or cold. It is an out of the ordinary treat. | ||

Some great wines can be found at Walmart nowadays. In no particular order here they are: Chateau Traileur Parc White Trashfindel Big Red Gulp Grape Expectations Domaine Wal-Mart "Merde du Pays" NASCARbernet Chef Boyardeaux Peanut Noir Chateau des Moines I Can't Believe It's Not Vinegar! World Championship Riesling Nasti Spumante | ||

Ah Boones Farm! You guys beat me to it. It was the best in college when we couldn't afford anything else. It would be better if it was stronger, like say, a bottle of light beer? Gregg | ||
| Swampy |
Nurnberger Glubwein, Gerstacker, Nurnberg, Germany Grape wine with spices, a treat not soon forgotten! With a traditional twist off cap to boot! | ||
| Ducxl |
My favorites are either a good Muscato or pomace brandy/grappa |
