Ice Wine

Has anyone tried this dessert wine?

I was fortunate enough to have a glass this evening. WOW. It's a nice sweet wine that compliments any dessert very well. While it is sweet, it's not TOO sweet as can be typiclal of a dessert wine. Had great flavor, zero aftertaste and was as smooth as can be, tasted almost like grape juice.

It did come at a price however.... 23.00 a glass.

If you're ever at a restraunt and see it at the menu, spring the money and try it out.I know I will likely get it again if I see it elsewhere.

My mom placed an order for a bottle a couple of weeks ago. I don't think she's received it yet, however.

I'll have to remember to ask her if she got it.

I spoke with my mother today. She received the wine but she is waiting until I come home until she opens it, because apparently it only lasts 3-5 days once opened.

**Nick** · September 26th, 2006, 12:45 AM

Awesome...

**Anthony** · December 10th, 2006, 05:22 PM

I forgot to review the wine.

Overall, I didn't care for it at all. Much, much too sweet for my liking. I can post a more detailed review later if one is requested.

**SpeedsterZ28** · December 10th, 2006, 09:52 PM

Hmm...I'll have to give it a try next time I'm out somewhere nice.

Sounds interesting.

Ice Wine's are awesome. I haven't had any in quite some time, funny thing is I was talking about getting some with a friend a few days ago.

I just bought a bottle for the wife for Christmas. It was $75.99

Well, ice wine comes in many varieties, so there's not really one flavor you'll run into. It's called ice wine because they literally wait for the grapes to freeze on the vine, and then they drain the juice from the skins and slush. They are white wines, because the are not left to ferment with the skins, you just get the raw juice... and because freezing them removes most of the water in them, what you're left with is a very syrupy, high sugar grape juice.

This makes ice wines really sweet... and very thick. And because it takes more grapes to make less juice, that's why they're relatively expensive.

The best ice wine I've ever had came from Inniskillin Winery in Oliver, BC. They have many to choose from, and they are all very good.

The Canadian Dollar to American Dollar ratio balances the price out real nicely, too.

I have a bottle that I bought the wife sitting on my counter

I'm not a huge fan of ice wine, i find it far too sweet. I have tried probably 20 different types and my dad even made a couple different types of home brew ice wine.

I got a chance to try some inniskillin over the weekend, first time I was very impressed. it was interesting. And complimented the desert well. My uncle picked up a botle while on business in Toronto (I think?)

Somebody was JUST telling me about this stuff the other day. Said it's expensive because it's only when they get a freeze....or a certain type of freeze, which only happens every 3-4 years.

Damnit, now I have to see if I can order some.

i believe it's around $40-50 for a 12 oz. bottle.... I have to admit though it was very good, and it cool to say I have tried it.
