Pinot is the way to go for something a bit lighter. Burgundy and (to a certain extent) Pinot from Oregon will be more earthy while choices from California tend to have more fruit notes to them.

With the zing of grapefruit, and pow of grassy herbs, these bottles pack a punch of freshness that will wake up anyone's taste buds!

While not all Riesling is sweet, you can definitely find some to satisfy your end-of-the-meal cravings. Moscato is always a winner for someone on the prowl for an easy to drink glass.

Shades of chocolate, jam and cocoa rule the zinfandel world, they are often balanced with a spiced character, and would be a wonderful addition to and cheese plate or dessert tray!
