Happy New Year to everyone! I do hope that 2012 will be much better than dreadful 2011.
To ensure good beginnings, I have tried something new and tasty on January 1st: icewine.
It is made of grapes that froze on the bush - typically Riesling (in Germany) or Vidal (in Canada).
The one I have tried was Jackson Triggs Proprietors' Reserve Vidal Icewine.
It is thick, light amber colored wine with very pleasant exotic fruit aroma. The taste is naturally sweet (not sugary) but crisp thanks to high acidity. Not surprisingly, after smelling like exotic fruit it also has clear fruity taste. Over 10% of alcohol contents, so it puts you into good mood quickly. Don't drink it with food - it is perfect dessert by itself.
