What is a good red wine and a good fruity wine?
Q. It's almost christmas and I'm looking for some last minute gift ideas for my girlfriends parents. The mother loves fruity wines and the father loves red wine. I need to find two wines, preferably wines that I can find at an LCBO or a winery in the Toronto area. I'm very inept when it comes to wines and all the help that can be provided would be very appreciated.
Thanks

A. A good choice for sweet wine:
Rieslings have a floral aroma. They range from very dry and crisp to intensely sweet depending on where it is from. German Riesling is slightly sweet and balanced with some acidity. California Riesling tends to be sweeter.
A good choice for red wine:
Zinfandel can be light to full bodied. It can be rich and spicy or lighter and fruitier. Aromas and flavors that are typical include raspberry, jam, black pepper, and licorice. A specific Zin suggestion -
Renwood 2004 Old Vine Zinfandel
The 2004 Old Vine Zinfandel is medium ruby in color. The bouquet consists of brown sugar, caramel, sage, eucalyptus, and bursting with dark berry fruit. The flavor is a sumptuous blend of warm blackberries on the entry, with a hint of dried fruit, finishing with sweet fleshy tannins.(around $20)
If you can't find Renwood other good wineries are Rosenblum, Serghesio, and Ridge.
Good luck!
