Dessert Wine, by gandjt 06 Jun 23:14

We have been to an excellent wine tasting evening and this was the dessert wine. It was the nicest wine we have both tasted and ordered a bottle immediately and intend to buy on a regular basis. Although dearer than our regular wine, we both think it is definately worth the money.
