laxx Posted December 23, 2010 Report Posted December 23, 2010 I don't even remember. I walked into a store my friend from high school runs. Told him I was looking for a bottle of ice wine and that < $100 was fine. He brought me a bottle and said he liked that more than the others. Gave me a 20% discount and I walked out. I just messaged him asking what it is that I bought.
Aimless1 Posted December 23, 2010 Report Posted December 23, 2010 I'm certainly no expert, but a good ice wine delivers a surreal experience, and I haven't had one in awhile. Seems like a good idea to pick one up for our Christmas day family gathering.
tyrion Posted December 23, 2010 Report Posted December 23, 2010 While we were in Canada for the Marathon we took a tour of the Inniskilin Winery. I brought a bottle back and have since picked up another. A little on the sweet side but since it's a dessert wine, I guess that is the way it should be. I'm not into wine but I liked it when we did the tasting. I had never heard of ice wine before going up there for this trip.

Much prefer a port or medium sweet/dry sherry.
Aimless1 Posted December 23, 2010 Report Posted December 23, 2010 The 2000 vintage of this ice wine exploded with flavor. I usually don't like sweet drinks, and a little ice wine goes a long way, but I savored each sip. Delicious on so many levels.
guzziguy Posted December 23, 2010 Report Posted December 23, 2010 (edited) A good dessert wine has enough acid to balance the sweetness. An unbalanced dessert wine is just a sweet, cloying disaster. Ports and Sherrys are different things altogether. Edited December 23, 2010 by guzziguy

boomana Posted December 24, 2010 Report Posted December 24, 2010 Does this help at all? In the first pic, the large cube is on the right and on the left is a medium and a "carryable cube". Second pic has a medium and a small cube. [ATTACH=CONFIG]4129[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]4130[/ATTACH] Yes, thanks!

luvdunhill Posted December 24, 2010 Report Posted December 24, 2010 Yes, thanks! cool, needless to say I like the bag. I haven't used it yet though. It's actually not insanely huge that I would feel out of place carrying it as a laptop bag with some books and what not to the library. So, I like that.
