Icewine 101
Episode Notes
A note from Stephanie...
Even when I first start drinking wine, I found the sweeter styles a little cloying.
As I tasted more wine from around the world throughout my adulthood, I enjoyed experimenting different sweetness levels.
Now I prefer to have a little something sweet in my glass after dinner instead of dessert and I am a proud Canadian who brags worldwide about our Canadian icewine...there is NOTHING like it!
...and I like it sparkling, too!
