I need New Year's advice, wine thread. And maybe some advice for myself. My moscato-loving winner of a boyfriend (  ) very recently told me that all dry wine tastes the same to him and that "at least moscato has flavor". What in hell's name can I do for this boy? I want to offer him a lineup of off-dry to easy-dry wines, one of each type in reds and whites. I think a Dornfelder would be a real winner, since it's turned over plenty of moscato-drinkers at my job, but I'm sort of at a loss about the other red and the two whites. I'm personally nuts about old vine Zinfandels when I want something a little sweet, but I'm afraid of even that sort of dryness being too advanced for him. And then there's the issue of not being able to think of hardly any off-dry whites, other than maybe a Vouvray. What's the best course of action here?My personal dilemma is a little easier. My wine journey has stagnated at Petite Sirah and white meritage. I want to run drier, but whenever I dip my toes into, say, Chard/Cab/Merlot, the results are not favorable. But maybe I keep drinking lovely examples of them. So what are good, available (small town) examples of these styles? Or what would be a wine that would be a better step?
