Sweet white wine, what should I choose?

[scorpluvsdolphins]

Hello 

I normally drink red wine, but my friend likes sweet white wine. 

I get 3 free bottles from C&A. 

Please tell me what I should call and ask for?

Thanks

Moscato

Moscato or Riesling. Not sure what the C&A offerings are but both of those are sweet.

Caymus Conundrum or Beringer White Zin

What level gets 3 bottles? Pinnacle, I presume? If so, is there a D+ point level when it goes to 2?

Why not try and introduce her to a crisp dry white wine???  It’s free is she doesn’t like it?! Moscato is a sweet desert wine.

I would sign my first-born son up for a lifetime of free labor with RCCL, if they would add Prosecco to that amenity list!  (Of course, my first-born son might object, but he owes me:  high-maintenance kid to raise 😁)

Big difference in those two.

More similar than different 

In my extensive experience

[little britain]

I did not know that Conundrum is a blend of 5 grapes...Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscat Canelli, Viognier and Sémillon.  If only they left out the Chardonnay and Muscat ....!!

Lol! I’d kill for a cava or a crisp dry rose.

I did not know that Caymus Conundrum came in white blend (DW and I do not drink white) but we LOVE their red blend!

Ice wine.

Chardonnay.

[pnsnkr]

Sauternes.  But they usually come in 1/2 bottles

White has been around for years.  I thought the red is a more recent addition

There is nothing sweet about Chardonnays. 

 

Laura used to say she liked ABC wine.

 

Anything But Chardonnay

Whilst I have to disagree with Laura’s love of that horrid Zin pink sweet stuff.... I must agree with her on ABC..!

My wine choice is a DRY Marlborough New Zealand 

Sauvignon Blanc

but to answer the op I think the Ice Wine with its high sugar content is one of the sweetest white wines but don't know if it is available on board.

You've obviously never had Laura's Beringer 

[bonsai3s]

Any white wine will do...just add Seven Up

 

(just being funny...we are surrounded by 425 acres of grapes...used for blends, raisins, and two buck chuck.)

Nancy loves the Lindemans Moscato (she didn't drink before we got married 😘), but the Beringer White Zin is also nice.

Don’t drink the pink Koolaid.  Conundrum or a Riesling or even a Moscato.  Asti Spumante is a better choice a sparkling sweet wine.  

 

Good lord.

MY DW would join you in the Marlborough Sav Blanc... but there is no way they are going to have free bottles of ice wine or late harvest whites of any kind.  Those truly even for the pink Koolaid crowd are too sweet unless they are served with dessert and then they are wonderfully decadent.  Only wines I can’t drink after the first taste of dessert.  

 

For me nothing sucks more than bringing me dessert right after pouring me a giant red wine.  I have to drink the wine, that I crave, knowing that the dessert tempting me will destroy the taste of it.  So, 30 minutes later, I finally have a bite of dessert.

Hardly any alcohol in Asti Spumante😉
