Dessert wine Questions

[lipwig]

See if you can get your hands on some of the dessert wines from the Niagra region of Canada. This area is putting out some fantastic ones. Inniskillin has some entry level ice wines and some very nice special occasion ones too. Jackson Triggs also has one which I can't recall off the top of my head that won't set you back too much. Selaks (from NZ) has one that should be available anywhere which is so-so but inexpensive ($13 here for a 375ml). If you're really ambitious, look for a Tokaji from Hungary. I used to get one from a friend from Budapest, but now they are becoming available here in the states. I believe these are some of the best in the world. (They use Botrytis as opposed to freezing the grapes). You should also be able to find quite a few late harvest or ice wines from Germany at your local wine shop. You could also experiment with Rieslings. I had one that was a Spatlese (later harvest) that I drank by itself, but it would have been good as a dessert wine.

Just my $0.02. Good luck and enjoy your experimenting! [img]http://wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img]
