 Even those who prefer salt over sweet recognize how just a touch of one propels the other to a higher gustatory plane. That anyone would categorize themselves as either a sweet tooth or a savory seems silly. A little reflection leads one to angst over the blander world in which one taste reigned supreme. Too much salt and you're dried out. Heavy sugar leaves the tongue smacking against cloyed cheeks. Luscious sweets must be balanced in order to please. Many favorites embody this need for joining salt with sweet: Prosciutto with melon, those Salty Dogs that combine bittersweet chocolate with coarse sea salt, salted caramels, Sauternes and foie gras, Rieslings with rillettes, Port with a pungent blue veined Stilton -the list goes on and on and yet you wouldn't believe how many friends I know that initially claim to dislike sweet wines.

 If sweeter wines are guzzled down in isolation, an argument might be made that they can overwhelm the senses but not so for the balanced wines out there and why do people analyze wines on their own anyway -as if they're looking to simply drink it as a cocktail? Wine is food. Like the flavors that contrast one another in a dish, wines are a part of a greater whole and are meant to join forces with every course of a meal. The best however not only match a wide array of foods but are also comfortable in their own skin and seem at home on their own; such are those we've sought out and are proud to share with sweet tooth and skeptic alike. Earlier this month, we spent an afternoon basking in the warmth of many wines in our dessert category. As all wines evolve under glass, we took notes on each wine in turn to chart their development and reveal how they're showing now. Notes have all been posted to Pullin' Corks and we welcome you to explore especially using promo code 123110 [the last promo code of the year] because it saves 15% off all wines in our dessert category. This New Year take on the resolution to drink better wines and include some sweeties; you will not regret it.
