Icewine .... Eiswein ...... Vin de glace ...... what a special gift

[Stinky The Clown]

It is probably my favorite dessert. I got a 375 ml bottle of it for Father's Day. I sipped the last of it tonight.

1. how cool!

I am a wine lover, and have been wanting to try an ice wine. Can you describe what it tasted like?

[Stinky The Clown]

2. It is very sweet and has a very thick viscosity

It feels as if it can be chewed. It is also very fruity and has a nice acidity. Sweeter, even, than a trockenbeerenauslese.

It has a mouth feel very similar to a thick liqueur, but without the drama of a high alcohol content. There is no burn whatsoever.

3. thick like limoncello? (eom)

[Stinky The Clown]

6. Limoncello ...... or any other thick, sweet liqueur

But with absolutely no alcohol bite.

And the sweetness, generally, is not cloying.

9. mmm!!

thanks - now I want to try one more than ever!! :-)

4. I have always wanted to try it

But at $50 for a teeeeeny tiny bottle, I never could quite justify it.

7. Its a very hard product to produce.

They have to have exactly the right weather or they could lose an entire year's crop. This is why it is only made in a few areas. Canada is actually the biggest producer.

I have always said there's no accounting for taste. Some people like (love) it. Others can take it or leave it. With that admonition, I'd say to go for it at least once.

The have even smaller than 350 ml bottles (275??) for less money.

5. Nice Father's Day

gift. Sounds like you enjoyed the icewine!

[Stinky The Clown]

8. "Enjoyed" is an understatement!

10. I have two bottles hidden

why I am hiding it, I do not know

[Tab]

11. I will hide them for you. They'll be safe from whomever you're worried about.

They will effectively disappear.

[Stinky The Clown]

12. mtnester .............

.... don't trust Tab. I sense a second agenda in the generous offer to make your ice wine effectively disappear'.

I'm series!!1!!1!!

[Tab]

13. Shut up.

I'm just going to store them internally, and maybe convert them to bodily fluids.

[mtnester]

14. Hey now!

I had these sudden thoughts about my Icewine, body fluid conversion, and Tab (the soft drink)


And then I had to have a brain exorcism!

:)

[Tab]

16. No, seriously...

I have, um, no ulterior motive, and forget that the husband of sparkly guy said, and I will, um, store your eiswine safely - maybe convert it to bodily fluids and keep it internally for safekeeping, and, um, you won't have to worry about it getting lost or stolen, particularly, um, from other group posters whose initials might be something like H2S or something and um, they probably have bad intentions.

15. I am wary of magicians bearing suggestions

BELIEVE me :)
