Drinking wine to me is a sophisticated, sexy, glamourous way to drink..
My husband might beg to differ with you on that statement...lol
Many more boomers are drinking wine over beer, and they do sell a lot more of it in Jamaica. Some wine drinkers won't touch it there...but hey, I guess my tastes aren't that sophisticated!
I too am not a 'sweet wine; drinker, I prefer a wooded chardonnay, and smooth merlot or shiraz...when it comes to red.
I agree with Cher...and you can a reisling or zinfadel. I always talk to the wine expert at the store...and many times from his recommendations, I try new wines. Try a few and you might find your taste changes to a less sweet wine.
Pair it with some gourmet cheeses...brie or blue cheese. Nothing better in my books!
