You know people, well some of them ;-) think we're ice, igloos and dog sleds 12 months of the year, so that's why the ice wine is so good. ;-) Actually as you know, it's the opposite, particularly out here in the west in British Columbia where we now win world Gold Medal wine competitions year after year. And as said in some advertisements... "We've come along way Baby!" in the quality of the wine produced in this country east or west. I have not tasted your recommendation, but will see if we have it in our stores here and on your advice get one. Although I must confess I have a half dozen bottles of BC ice wine in the cooler at the moment that have been slowly disappearing over the past 1/2 dozen years. :-) However, thanks for the heads-up. :-) ted
