I don't mind an occasional dessert wine...

I love port. I don't drink it in place of red wine, but it's a nice after dinner treat. I have many different types in my collection, but one of my favorites is Trentadue Petite Sirah Port. It's not too sweet like some ports can be. Another FAVORITE summertime dessert of mine is to marinate peaches in a Viognier Port, and serve over ice cream. The port tastes kind of peachy so it really accentuates the fruit.

My favorite wine in the world is Riesling, so yes, I guess I do like dessert wines :)

I drink tokaji. I don't really like the ones with a higher number of puttonyos (the higher the number, the sweeter, with essencia being the sweetest and most expensive). I prefer the felszaraz ones, which are "half dry." Some are even dry enough to drink with dinner (we had one with Thanksgiving that was excellent).

@ Insanity- I really enjoy Sherry. I love the sweet creaminess of it. Sometimes I just want something really sweet. Then again I don't really eat dessert, I normally drink it :-o

I am not usually a huge fan, but I have been to Bella and actually purchased several bottles of their late harvest zin (as pictured). Delicious with the handcrafted peanut butter-filled chocolates they serve with it during tasting. I convinced them to sell me some of those, too! Yummmm

Yes. I think that's my weakness. I love a good port.

i have had dessert wines that i like from time to time but i really do try to stay away from them. my fiance and i actually went to visit my brother and his wife this past weekend and we went to a few wineries, and we tried a few dessert wines that weren't too bad but i typically stay away from the ones that are THAT sweet
