i am looking for a red dessert wine, ice wine and moscato are my favorite
dessert in the white and one called camolot honey mead, it needs to be as
sweet as possible sparkling is fine but not required,

I've not seen anything like this in California except California cream
sherry and port. I searched the internet and found this, with blackberry,
raspberry, and other berry wines.

It's somewhat difficult to call these wines. I'd sure try what you're going
to use first. All of these are fortified wines, or with added alcohol. I
don't think we have any grapes in CA that have a high enough sugar content
to ferment to 11-12% alcohol and still leave enough residual sugar to be
called a sweet wine. You might see if you can find Charles Krug cream
sherry, which really isn't red. The other would be a non vintage California
port. Those are nice, but assertive. I'm not familiar with the "black
muscat" sweet wine.

Good Luck,

Kent

Not sure where you at, Storm, but a big fave in CA is dessert
zinfandels. Zin is, by nature, a sweet grape, so huge wines of
14.5-16.5 abv are not uncommon. Makes for a great dessert wine when
fermented for that purpose. Usually pretty pricey for small bottle.
Probably hard to find outside CA, as that state is ground zero for
zin growers and bleary-eyed zin zealots.

That's not red and it's not particularly sweet.

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

You're absolutely right nb! Late Harvest Zin is like a red ice wine,
IMO. It's a beautiful and highly satisfying dessert wine... not
cheap, but not expensive. Expect to pay high $twenties to low
$thirties for a bottle that looks like a split. Maybe a little more
because my last experience was a few years ago.

thanks,

usually alone, a df has been told by her qwak that a glass of wine each
evening is acceptable and probably reccommended in her case, but he prefefrs
her to have red over white, and she prefers sweet so i thought if i could
come up with something that tasted nice i could get her something to get
started it would be a nice gift... i will of course have to test drive
anything i give her, lol, Lee

Are you serving it alone or with a dessert? I'm not sure what your
purpose is, but here's a list.

One of the nicest sweet wines I ever tasted was made my myself from
cranberries. It was exquisite and I had many compliments.
