I normally like drier wines and DH won't drink anything that's not ridiculously sweet and we both LOVE Roscato. It's been my favorite for the past year and best served chilled. I have introduced lots of people to it and have not found anyone that doesn't love it. </p> <p>This is the one we like - not sure if there are other brands out there: <a href="http://www.totalwine.com/wine/brand/roscato" rel="nofollow">http://www.totalwine.com/wine/brand/roscato</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/different-types-of-wine#post-2691988 Sun, 05 Feb 2017 14:13:06 +0000 youboots 2691988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Check out rose with higher residual sugar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/different-types-of-wine#post-2691952 Sun, 05 Feb 2017 13:23:04 +0000 delight 2691952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: Kim Crawford's Sauv Blanc is my absolute fav.

Unfortunately I can't spell or pronounce it, so I might have to keep my new love a secret... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/different-types-of-wine#post-2689479 Tue, 31 Jan 2017 06:51:14 +0000 SweetiePie 2689479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first thought was also New Zealand Sauv Blancs. Kim Crawford, Matua, and my personal fave is Mudhouse but it's hard to find. </p> <p>For Reds, something that's light but not sweet is Cherry Tart Pinot Noir.<br /> And for a legit sweet table red Jam Jar is good. I don't have it often but I do enjoy it once in a while after dinner. Drink my dessert :silly: </p> <p>If you're used to only sweet it might still take a few times to get used to the others, but give it a chance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/different-types-of-wine#post-2689475 Tue, 31 Jan 2017 06:41:14 +0000 Adira 2689475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you like Moscato, you'll love Roscato (basically the red version of a Moscato). It's DELICIOUS and my new favorite! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/different-types-of-wine#post-2689473 Tue, 31 Jan 2017 06:32:46 +0000 littlebug 2689473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was also going to suggest Pinot noir, like @lamariniere: They were my first foray into red wine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/different-types-of-wine#post-2689472 Tue, 31 Jan 2017 06:32:44 +0000 hellobeeboston 2689472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kemma: awesome!! And yum 😄🥂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/different-types-of-wine#post-2689468 Tue, 31 Jan 2017 05:22:34 +0000 Ms. RV 2689468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Raspberry: I was going to recommend gewurtztraminer as well. It is my favorite! It is hard to find around me, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/different-types-of-wine#post-2689464 Tue, 31 Jan 2017 02:48:39 +0000 lamariniere 2689464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm normally a red wine drinker, but for whites, I do enjoy Sancerre and Bourgogne Aligoté.</p> <p>If you want to branch out into reds, I think most Pinot Noir is pretty safe, not too dry, not too sweet. Red Bourgogne wines are also lighter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/different-types-of-wine#post-2689462 Tue, 31 Jan 2017 01:15:04 +0000 Kemma 2689462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: @Mrs. J: @MrsA: @gingerbebe: I work for the NZ winery that made the world's best Sauvignon Blanc in 2012! Marlborough sav is particularly good and you might also like Pinot Gris or a Rose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/different-types-of-wine#post-2689449 Mon, 30 Jan 2017 23:41:15 +0000 hellobeeboston 2689449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would also go for the New Zealand Sauvignon blanc's, from Marlborough - Oyster Bay and Whitehaven are great. Sooo delicious. Very fruity/grassy/grapefruit-y I think.</p> <p>If you want to try a red - give the YellowTail Cabernet Sauvignon a try. It's a light red. Do you have a Trader Joe's nearby? Their Chariot red is awesome, easy to drink and only $4 a bottle! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/different-types-of-wine#post-2689437 Mon, 30 Jan 2017 22:48:49 +0000 Mrs. J 2689437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>New Zealand Sauv Blancs are my favorite white, but Sauvignon Blanc is commonly called the red drinkers' white. FWIW, I am not a moscato/Riesling fan at all. </p> <p>Reds tend to be earthier, so a sweet red blend is probably your best bet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/different-types-of-wine#post-2689389 Mon, 30 Jan 2017 20:57:54 +0000 azjax 2689389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you're looking for something sweeter but less dessert-y, you could opt for a Rose. Merlots are also typically a bit sweeter, as are some Italian table wines (like Don Opici), but these wines are also heavier on the palate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/different-types-of-wine#post-2689385 Mon, 30 Jan 2017 20:48:05 +0000 MrsA 2689385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: is right on about the New Zealand Sauvignon blancs. I started off on Riesling also and they're my new favorite. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/different-types-of-wine#post-2689367 Mon, 30 Jan 2017 20:19:22 +0000 Raspberry 2689367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you like reisling and moscato I bet you'd like gewurztraminer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/different-types-of-wine#post-2689359 Mon, 30 Jan 2017 20:13:03 +0000 gingerbebe 2689359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A different white - I'd try a fume blanc. Ferrari Carrano is mid range priced and soft, but definitely not as sweet as a Riesling. Or a Sauvignon blanc - especially a sauv from New Zealand/Australia like Kim Crawford where it's a more tropical fruit flavor. Or a vinho verde - sweet and slightly effervescent. Trader Joe's has one from Espiral that is dirt cheap but super refreshing and delicious in warm weather.</p> <p>Red I would go for a Lambrusco or Roscato. They are also slightly effervescent, sweeter, and just a fun wine to have with appetizers or warm weather. </p> <p>If you want to try red wines that are sweeter, Cupcake Vineyards makes blends that are really soft sweet wines (with names like Red Velvet and Black Forest) that are under $10. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/different-types-of-wine#post-2689350 Mon, 30 Jan 2017 20:00:39 +0000 ustechie 2689350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How about a sangria? I usually stick to your picks, as well! Curious what others say! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/different-types-of-wine#post-2689344 Mon, 30 Jan 2017 19:49:13 +0000 SweetCaroline 2689344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I normally prefer Reisling and Moscato wine, which are both obviously on the sweeter side. If I'd like to branch out and try a different type of white, what should I go for?</p> <p>How about reds? For a normally sweet wine drinker, where should I start? </p>
