Ice Wine By Jason 05 March 2006 at 9:40 pm 73 views

Today Jess and I tried a bottle of Jackson-Triggs Proprietors’ Reserve 2004 Vidal Icewine (it’s her birthday in two days, and I decided to let her have some of her gifts early). Wow, just wow. It was the best tasting wine I’ve ever had. Sweet and fruity, with a very slight burn. A lot of flavor.

Unfortunately it isn’t cheap. A 187mL bottle (which is about half a can of soda) costs a good $20.00. :pinch: Yeah, it ain’t cheap, but if you ever have a chance to try some, I definitely suggest that you do.

For those wondering what ice wine is, here’s a nice definition for you:

Ice wine is a type of dessert wine produced from grapes that have been naturally frozen on the vine. The sugars and other dissolved solids do not freeze, but the water does, so the result is an unusually concentrated, often very sweet wine.

So, are there any good wines that you enjoy? Or is there a good place to come by Ice Wine, as it’s hard to find here. Feel free to comment! :)
