Dessert Wines

[Jerry D Mead]

Ice Wines are rare in the states, but a number of California and Washington wineries make Rieslings labeled Late Harvest or Select Late Harvest that are the equivalent in sweetness of German Auslese, Beerenauslese and Trockenbeerenauslese...all very sweet wines and usually available in half bottles and pricey...but they are delicious.

Chateau St. Jean and Geyser Peak are two California versions that come instantly to mind.
