Dashing Through The Neige...

Ice wine to warm your "one-horse-open sleigh" ride!

I tasted this at the DC International Wine & Food Festival in June, and have been waiting for the right opportunity to share this with The Liquid Muse Community. Considering the blankets of frost covering vast regions right now, and carolers crooning for a White Christmas... I think this is it!

Neige (French for “snow”) is an award-winning Canadian Apple Ice Wine produced in wintery white Quebec, Canada. Aged over a year, it has a complex aroma of candied fruit, ripe apples, woody notes and hints of vanilla. It is a delicious accompaniment to lightly sautéed foie gras, a fine piece of goat cheese or warmed apple tart. Mmm...
