Calling all wine experts - what wine at Wine & Dine @ Epcot?

[Alice777]

I'm not wine drinker and always wanted be....always envied people drinking wine when pulling those slot handles in Las Vegas!

I like my alcohol drinks kind of sweet so I'm more of a "cocktail" type drinker.

I really want to try different wines at Wine and Dine when we are there in couple of days.

Any recommendations on any wine that's kind of sweet for novice wine drinker? And which booth I would find it at?

Thank you

Reisling tends to be sweet. Most of the reds you will see what not be sweet. I think there are sweet wines in the Chocolate pavilion. Dessert wines: port, madeira, muscat, to name a few. If you like the wines there write down what they are and the types and buy them at home. The wines they are pour are usually made in very large quantities and available in most states.

Go look at the Food and Wine review at easywdw. I think they sampled everything.

Ooooh, I have the perfect recommendation for you! Ice wine from Canada. It's a small, very sweet portion. Usually served with dessert. And delicious! (Coming from a verrrrrrrrry light drinker.)

I'd second this recommendation. I do drink wine, but ice wine is entirely different. Go for the Inniskillin which is inside the Canada store - at the back. It's better than the one at the Canada booth.

Ice wine is syrupy sweet. I'd start with a Riesling.

Look for a Riesling or a Moscato. Both can be fairly sweet, light, and easy to drink. Moscato is normally a little bubbly if you're into that. I had a Riesling in Germany on my last trip that was delicious!

I echo ShelbyWagon. Moscato and Reislings would be on the sweeter end of the spectrum. Ice wine is the absolute sweetest - I find it too syrupy myself. Here is a list of what could work for you:
Australia
Château Tanunda Grand Barossa Dry Riesling – $4.50

Brazil
Carnaval Moscato Sparkling White Wine, Serra Gaúcha – $6.00

Canada
Neige Premiere Apple Ice Wine, Québec – $6.00

Farm Fresh
Florida Orange Groves Mango Mama Wine – $5.50

Germany
J&H Selbach Bernkasteler Kurfürstlay Riesling Kabinett, Mosel – $4.50
Selbach-Oster Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese, Mosel – $5.50

Greenhouse Guru
Chateau Ste. Michelle Cold Creek Vineyard Riesling, Washington – $4.50

Hawaii
Florida Orange Groves Sparkling Pineapple Wine – $6.00

Italy

Intermissions Café
Caposaldo Peach Moscato Sweet Sparkling Wine – $8.00

Enjoy testing them out!

Thank you everyone. Would I able to find these wines anywhere, example at Las Vegas or are these all specialty wines only at Epcot?

 

[IrishNYC]

You may be able to find them elsewhere, but a good wine shop will be able to help you. You may even find one that does tastings.

Try the Rosa Regale at the Chocolate Studio kiosk.

Make sure you give it a deep sniff before you sip it. The berry scent is heavenly.
