| Ontario’s Ice House 2005 Vidal Icewine has out-performed thousands of wines in Monde Sélection in Brussels, garnering a rare and coveted Grand Gold. “We are thrilled,” winemaker Jamie Macfarlane told me. Ice House Winery in Niagara, founded in 2005 as an icewine specialist, has no retail licence yet and is not open to the public. (Gordon Stimmell, Toronto Star, April 18, 2007) The winery suggests serving this Icewine with pastries and desserts made with lychee nuts, apricots, raisins and mangoes. Or wait until the height of fresh Ontario peach season, peel them, slice them, drizzle a little icewine over them and enjoy. |
