Dessert wine

[MESSING2]

Sat down to what I thought would be a pleasant glass of white this evening, and gagged after the first sip - clearly I wasn't quite focused when doing the Tesco shop and picked up a dessert wine by accident.

I can't drink anything that sweet. Is there anything I can add to make it palatable? Or is it destined to go down the sink?

[EtonianMother]

Post it to me? Is it Sauternes?

[TigerDroveAgain]

Eat something that suits it. Pate. Strawberries. Google.

[EtonianMother]

Pate. Yes!

[MESSING2]

Heh, Etonian - no, it isn't. Is that a good one, then? (Clueless)

[EtonianMother]

Yes, Sauternes is very nice. What did you buy?

[sexnotgender]

Have you tried drinking it with dessert?

Sounds like a stupid question but I dislike wine like Sauternes on it’s own but it’s lovely with food.

[EtonianMother]

BTW, Messing2, the idea of dessert wine is that you are already quite drunk when you get to that point. It tastes better then. Honestly. Save it?

[MESSING2]

Tiger - pate sounds splendid, will give it a try though I just don't like drinking very sweet things. Sadly (for my teeth/belly) this doesn't extend to food - I can happily scarf down a tub of ice cream.

[MESSING2]

It's Premiere Cote de Bordeaux, so not a high-end one. So I need to get sloshed on something else and then get stuck into it, preferably with food? I'm starting to warm to it...

[EtonianMother]

Ha ha. I hate sweet food. But somehow I can cope with Sauternes, post supper. Send it my way, Messing. I will send you ice-cream in return [can't do emojis, other than the MN ones, but would do a sick one at this point]

[EtonianMother]

Messing, if you are not sending it my way, then preliminarily sloshed is the answer.

I love jurançon as an apperatif or with/instead of dessert. Just try it. You might like it!

[MESSING2]

Deal, Etonian

[tigerrun]

I’d say have it over a ton of ice - or cold almost to the point of freezing and chop up some strawberries in it?
