How to Choose Dessert Wine on Long Island: A Buyer's Guide

Dessert wines are not simply sweet table wine. Most are made by concentrating sugar in the fruit or stopping fermentation early, which leaves residual sugar and often lower alcohol. The category covers late-harvest whites, botrytized wines, ice wine, fortified wines, and sparkling reds, so the first step is deciding which style fits your table.

Key styles to know

  • Moscato d’Asti and Moscato d’Oro: Lightly sparkling, low in alcohol, with peach and orange blossom notes. Serve well chilled with fruit tarts or almond cookies.
  • Sauternes and botrytized wines: Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc affected by noble rot, giving honey, apricot, and saffron. Maison Nicolas Sauternes and Chateau Yquem are benchmarks; both come in 375mL.
  • Ice wine: Grapes frozen on the vine, pressed while frozen, producing intense sweetness with racing acidity. Inniskillin Riesling Ice Wine is a classic Canadian example in a 187mL bottle.
  • Vin Santo and Commandaria: Dried-grape and fortified styles from Italy and Cyprus, with caramel, fig, and walnut flavors. Vallepicciola Vinsanto and Keo St. John Commandaria are both in stock.
  • Brachetto and aperitivo: Borgo Maragliano Brachetto is a sweet sparkling red, and Select Aperitivo is a bittersweet Venetian aperitivo for spritzes and cocktails.

How to choose and serve

Match sweetness to the dessert, and remember the wine should be at least as sweet as the food or it will taste thin. Chocolate calls for richer fortified styles, while fruit desserts suit Moscato, Brachetto, or Riesling ice wine. Serve most whites and sparklers at 45 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit in small glasses; a 375mL bottle pours roughly two to three small servings.
