Wow. Some very interesting ideas here. Thanks!

The Niagra wines I used to drink weren't brands, but varieties that were put out by a couple of different companies, if I remember correctly. I think the White and Pink Niagras were put out by Great Western, and I think the Lake Niagra was put out by Taylor. I'm not sure who made the Catawbas, but maybe both companies did.

Ice wine is good if you use it correctly. It woud be great over ice cream, and if you sip it very slowly, it goes with other desserts as well. Or it can serve as a dessert all by itself. Some late harvest wines are good like that, too.

Ebbie, I find that there are some very interesting dry wines, especially if you're having them with food, but I can't agree that fruity and sweet wines don't have their uses. But maybe you can tell me what, particularly, you prefer about dry wines.
