Host Brian Freedman contends that coffee is answer. Discussing high end coffee?s from Jax Coffee House, Brian compares the diverse tasting palate that good coffee provides.

Exploring Dessert Wines (Attn: All Sweet Wine Lovers)

Tue, 30 Sep 2008 15:28:03 GMT

Brian Freedman is extra sweet in today's episode as he guides you through the ins and outs of dessert wines. Dessert wine, which is interchangeably referred to as sweet wine, is often mistaken as something that must be enjoyed accompanying dessert. This false assumption can lead the unsuspecting wine drinker astray, as too much sweetness can overload the palate. Depending on style and alcohol level, certain sweet wines can be enjoyed on their own or with contrasting food elements.
