And wrapping up the reunion series of new wines is this Jackson-Triggs Vidal Ice Wine. Made from 100% Vidal grapes this wine was the biggest hit of them all. Unfortunately I only had one small bottle to offer and it was gone in a minute.
Ice wine is made from harvesting the grapes AFTER they have frozen on the vine. Most of the priciest and best come from the Niagara area. It is said that one grape yields only one drop of wine.
Intensely sweet and flavorful this wine easily stands in place of dessert. Its sweetness would overpower even the richest of desserts. That said, it was a huge hit and I would certainly be interested in buying more when the cold winds begin to push the memories of summer into the recesses of my mind..
