Yes, the muscadine grape is very sweet and makes a sweet wine. I, personally, don't like sweet wine, so Lakeridge is not for me. Most Florida wineries only sell sweet wines because that's all they can grow in Florida....sweet grapes.
The property is very nice, though, and they have several events held there throughout the year. Nice place to hang out for the afternoon listening to music, but I'll skip the wine.
