Magnotta 2006 Vidal Icewine
One of my favourite descriptions I heard about icewine was: “it tastes like icewine” – not very descriptive, especially if you have never tried icewine, but you get the picture. It’s also an unfortunate commentary about the sameness trap that icewine is falling into. The Magnotta version is an icewine – a great starter icewine, it has all those classic flavours and it’s still under 30 bucks. Honeysuckle, apples, peaches, apricots and a touch of something spicy on the finish (which only adds ...

Lakeview Cellars 2006 Vidal Icewine
This one’s a bargain for under $20, granted it’s the smaller 200ml bottle, but with all those honey and lilac aromas that replay in your mouth and finishes with a crisp apple bite – I don’t think you’ll need much more....

Harbour Estates 1999 Riesling Icewine
They say Vidal Icewine will last up to ten years (I’ve had some good 8 year old ones), on the other hand, from my experience, Gewurztraminer is much shorter lived … but Riesling, well the sky's the limit here. Some Riesling table wines have been known to age gracefully 50-plus years, but Riesling Icewine does not have that kind of track record (yet) to look upon – so all we can do is keep making and tasting them to check on their progress. This one, made back in 1999, and a winner at the 2002 ...
