Not a bad choice at all!!!

Gosh been ages since this blog is last updated. Work is slowly depriving me of my space for wine, but nevertheless, I went against this deprivation last night and am most glad to share it with you guys once again! *prost to that* ...woo~~

Ooohhh icy and yes chill a little with some Icewine from Canada right at this very moment my darlings. If you haven tried Ice wine before, how about giving this upcoming recommendation some consideration?

Carrying the elegance of red wine, this Icewine holds a beautiful balance of slightly sweet red wine with a lychee nose. Not only that, the flavors of strawberries, cherries, honey and butterscotch is sure to make you long for more after the very first sip. Its rosy color adds to your eye's appeal, while its smooth and soft tender touch comforts your taste buds. And do take a moment to enjoy the long gentleness that the finish works on your tongue. A wonderful composition to add to the night indeed.

And to add a little more knowledge here, the Niagara region of Ontario (i.e the place of origin for this recommended Icewine), Canada is currently the most widely respected producer of ice wines. In fact, Canadian Ice wine, properly created, must follow VQA (Vintners Quality Alliance) regulations to ensure a quality product. Key amongst these rules is that the wine must be naturally produced - no artificial freezing allowed. This makes ice wine very difficult to create as grapes must be guarded against too extreme temperatures. And because they are the last grapes on the vines, they must be defended vigorously against birds and other animals.
