I'd trust an employee at any decent wine store over strangers on the internet.

Yes, this! There are varying levels of sweetness, designated with "puttonyos." Here's one that's 6 puttonyos, which is the sweetest. https://www.totalwine.com/wine/dessert-fortified-wine/tokaji/chateau-megyer-tokaji-aszu-6-puttonyos/p/104138500?s=604&igrules=true

And here's a 5, which is sweet but not as sweet as the 6! https://www.totalwine.com/wine/dessert-fortified-wine/tokaji/chateau-megyer-tokaji-aszu-5-puttonyos/p/104107500?s=604&igrules=true

Banfi Rosa Regale is widely available, very tasty, and new to many people. Serve with chocolate!

Port. Total Wine has a sample pack of tawny port:

You can also get a bottle of Kirkland Signature (Costco) 10 year tawny port to taste along with the Quinta Das Carvalhas.

If you’re going to total wine just ask one of their employees to guide you. They usually do a good job.

Hosting a girls night with a group that prefers Moscatos and sweet Riesling. What types of dessert wines would you pick?

I’ll be shopping at Total Wines. Maybe a variety of 5-6 wines? I’ve seen some where they have tasters guess cheap vs. expensive, others guessing the actual type of wine, and others with a list to go thru.
