AppleIceWine
Live from Salon des Vins:
To those folks (I include myself here) who often poopoo non-grape-based wine, I say this:
"Phhffffttttt!"
I just sampled Neige Eternelle from La Face Cachée de la Pomme, a Quebec apple & pear cider producer. My nose & tongue fell hopelessly, madly, deeply in love with this otherworldly ice wine. How to describe it? Think: Your granny's fresh-outta-the-oven apple pie condensed into silky, delectable essence. Oooo la la.
Viva la pomme!
Oh man...I've HEARD of these apple ice wines...never even SEEN one in a shop though.
Keep us posted on the other vino-adventures!

I had never even HEARD of apple icewines until I saw an episode of Andrea Immer's show on FLN a year or so ago that covered them.
I have never seen one in stores either, but being someone that avoids most sugar in my diet, I haven't exactly been looking for them either.

I'd never heard of apple ice wine until now and I head out to Quebec often, thanks for the tip!
