A. Eeew, asti spumante is tooo sweet and too grapey, it would cover up the taste of chocolate. If you are going for that, why not just go for champagne??? Moet Star is a reasonably priced one. I am not a big fan of beer with dessert, either. If you are going for something heavier, why not the classic...brandy or cognac??? Remy Martin Red I think is the more reasonably priced one but I am not sure about that. All are fine, cognacs are well controlled. If it has the title "cognac," you can rest assured that it comes from the Cognac region of France, and its quality controlled. Oakiness is the charm of cognac. However, if you find cognac a bit too oakey (I usually do...) ...then go for brandy or a fine bourbon, instead. A delicious and… [cont.]

Q. I'm planning a small dinner party, and I have decided to make the following: baked lemon-garlic-pepper chicken risotto grilled asparagus. I'm not sure what to make for dessert though. I can't think of what would best go with the meal. Any suggestions?
Asked by MathNerd - Sat Oct 3 18:15:53 2009 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Since the meal is quite light, I would stick with a light desert such as a fruit salad with whipped cream, or a panacotta (don't worry about the cream, it still comes out tasting very light) Good luck!

what is the difference in dessert wine and other wines?

Asked by hannah! - Sat Mar 29 11:10:59 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Desert wines are sweet. What you have is a "fortified" desert wine, which means that brandy was added to stop fermentation before all of the sugar was converted to alcohol. Fortified wines are usually 20% alcohol or 40 proof. Other desert wines can be anywhere from 6.5% up to about 14%. There is no brandy added and the grapes that were used were extremely high in sugar. One of the most famous is Chateau d'Yquem. This is a Sauternes wine from France and is expensive. Some German wines are extremely good as well such as the Trockenbeerenauslese made from the Riesling grape which is also expensive. Eiswein is a wine made from grapes that are frozen then pressed to extract the concentrated juice. Regular table wines range in alcohol from 6.5% [cont.]

Asked by smartchik33 - Mon Jul 17 15:24:10 2006 - - 18 Answers - 0 Comments

A. For the wine I would go with something French 2003, the Merlots are slightly sweeter than others so they are nice and mellow, the Cabernet's are usually pretty smooth too but with few sweet notes. Yes you can pick up a bottle at your local grocery for less than $15! I get them in Toledo OH at Krogers for $7-$8 a bottle. Robert Mondavi wines are excellent too. For dessert I love tiramisu and cheesecake but that might be too heavy a dessert after such a lovely heavy meal. My husband would be groaning if I fed him either after lasagna! (He's a fit kind of guy!) So Tiramisu if he's a big eater and something lighter like an Italian Ice, strawberries dipped in chocolate, or maybe poached pears if you've ever seen him leave food on his plate. [cont.]
