Even though wine's popularity is soaring everywhere, there are still a few people who don't care for grape juice in its more sophisticated form. Most of these individuals would say that it's the bitter taste that comes from the acidic/sugar balance that sets their pallets recoiling.
I'll bet most of those critics have never tried Ice Wine. Recently, I have given a few bottles away, and without exception, everyone has made it a point to tell me how much they loved the wine. The dessert wines usually come in 375 ml (half-size) bottles. Pinot Gris grapes are often used in the production of Ice Wine, along with Muscat and Gewurztraminer.
If you've never tried Ice Wine, look for it the next time you're in your local supermarket. if they don't carry it there, try a wine shop or a World Market.
