An Easy Elegant Dessert ~ Sipping Sweet, Flavorful Dessert Wine
Treat your next dinner guests to an unusual and flavorful dessert wine at meal's end. Perfectly paired, you may want to serve a piece of blue veined cheese, such as blue cheese, Roguefort, Stilton or Cabrales, which offsets the concentrated honeyed flavors of a dessert wine. Most dessert wines are available in small half bottles. Ice wines are simply spectacular, but we also have a variety of diverse and affordable dessert wines at Liquor World. Come check them out.

Kim's Dessert Wine Recommendations:

EOS Tears of Dew Late Harvest Moscato
Our Late Harvest Moscato has heady, aromas of apricot, honeysuckle and nectarine. This flavorful wine is full and round in the mouth with orange, peach and apricot flavors. A perfect balance of sweetness and acidity, the wine is rich but not cloying.

Quady Electra
This is a picnic wine, light delicate and refreshing, a breath of springtime, a bouquet of flowers with the taste of peach and melon. Electra goes well with spicy picnic foods, salads, pastas, and dessert.

Renwood Orange Muscat
The 2004 Orange Muscat displays aromas of mango, ripe banana, honey, and kiwi with a hint or orange blossom. The entry displays luscious melon and honey suckle fruit flavors that help to round out the lightweight texture on the palate. Though this Orange Muscat is a dessert style wine, the acid structure balances out the sweet characters, resulting in a lingering and balanced finish.

Bonny Doon Framboise
Still the essence of raspberry. Our Framboise' derives its mystique from three highly aromatic varieties of raspberry cultivated in the state of Washington, namely the Meeker, the Tulameen and the mythical Morrison, an exceptionally flavorful variety selected by us from a raspberry research station in Puyallup, Washington. Prior to the addition of this third variety, we imagined we were already approaching the theoretical limits on the raspberriocity potentiometer. However the Morrison provides an extra quantum of flavor heretofore unknown to fans of this exceptional dessert wine. Perfect for kirs, kir royals, and spritzers.

One of the most popular dessert wine at Liquor World~
Nivole Moscato D'Asti
Nivole is produced from a single vineyard at Torre de Cantini located in the commune of Canelli in Italy.

Wine & Food pairing “rules”

* Nothing will complement your meal better than a wine you enjoy drinking, but a general “rule” if you enjoy exploring new wines is red wine with meat, white wine with fish or fowl.

* Select light-bodied wines to pair with lighter food, and fuller-bodied wines to go with heartier, more flavorful dishes. When pairing food and wine, the goal is synergy and balance. The wine shouldn't overpower the food, nor should the food overpower the wine. Think of wine as if it were a condiment — it should compliment the food.

* Drink light-to-dark, just as when you plan a meal you start with delicate tastes and work towards heavier tastes. For this reason, you normally don't serve a red wine with appetizers or opening courses in a meal. Red wines do go very nicely with heavier foods - beef, rich pasta sauces, and so on.

* Match by geographic location. Regional foods and wines, having developed together over time, often have a natural affinity for each other.

* Match flavors. An earthy Pinot Noir goes well with mushroom soup, while the grapefruit/citrus taste of Sauvignon Blanc goes with fish for the same reasons that lemon does.

* Consider pairing opposites. Very hot or spicy foods —some Thai dishes, or hot curries for example — often work best with sweet desert wines. Opposing flavors can play off each other, creating new flavor sensations and cleansing the palate.

* The #1 rule of wine and food pairing is judge with your taste buds. The idea behind pairing wine with food is that the flavors of one compliment or bring forward the beauty of the other. Rules are meant to be broken, so if you enjoy a light red wine with salmon, or a buttery Chardonnay with a juicy grilled steak, forget the wine critics, and bon appetit!
