Wait, you mean Riunite on ice wasn't nice?

I don't mind paying a fair amount for a good tasting sweet wine, but Boone Farms just seems to fit my taste buds.
I loved the Boones Farm Wild Island but can't buy that flavor in my locale any longer ever though I don't think it's retired yet....just not available here. I don't like the Fuzzy Navel and Watermelon.
I also tried Wild Vines wine, Tropical Fruits and liked that but can no longer find that flavor in our area either.
If you like Boones Farm tell me your favorite flavors so I can try new ones. Or if you know another brand of sweet good tasting wine which isn't dry at all, let me know.

 LOL!!! I had no idea they still made Boone's Farm! Loved the Wild Mountain
Going to have to check the local liquor stores a little closer and see what I can find. For the price, I would sure try it again! Thanks for reminding me  Good to know we didn't drink it ALL!!
Curious, do they still make Ripple too??

I like Boones Farm too, it gives you a little buzz without any "leftovers".

Loved Boone's when I was in college and remember Mateus Rose? I always thought that I was so sophisticated when I was drinking Mateus. After college, I moved up to Little Rhine Bear, a great German white that I have not seen in years. Maybe I will stop by the wine store this week and pick these up for old times!

In the early 70s I was introduced to a great German wine from Beameister from the Mosel region. I consider that the turning point for me to start understanding and appreciating real grown-up wines!
