Haven't had that particular one, but I've had locally made maple apple wine. Thing to note about ice wine is that it's classed as a dessert wine. It's generally very sweet.Daehawk wrote: Tue May 24, 2022 10:16 pm Anyone ever try Neige Apple Ice Wine from Canada? I hear its amazing. Also 13% APV

I'm a.memebr at a club that is BYOB but they have about 20 different bitters and 10 different kinds of cherries available for old fashioneds. To say I have a bit of experimentation to do is an understatement.

We got an ice wine from a friend. It was like drinking corn syrup laced with sugar.

Re: Whatcha drinking?
Yeah, I'm not surprised. We had tried one once because someone in our family had gotten one for Christmas one year and we were actually taken aback by how sweet it was. It's a very concentrated sweetness. I think it's down to the process used to produce it, and from what I've heard, like the Champagne region in France, only wines produced from the Niagara region are allowed to call themselves ice wines. I've learned that because the producers of the Maple Apple wine were trying to get classified as an ice wine but was told they couldn't because they weren't from the Niagara region, even though they're technically the same thing in terms of product.EvilHomer3k wrote: Thu May 26, 2022 9:24 amWe got an ice wine from a friend.

Re: Whatcha drinking?
I haven't had ice wines, but we have a vineyard near us called the Duplin Winery that makes sweet wines. I can't freaking stand them, it's like drinking Kool-Aid, with the same slimy aftertaste. This place has wines so sweet they actually have a blueberry cotton candy flavored one. I just find them disgusting.
Not surprisingly, people who don't normally drink wine like my parents, absolutely love it. That's because it doesn't taste like wine, it tastes like fruit punch.

Re: Whatcha drinking?
Last year my bourbon-loving neighbor brought out some HOWLER HEAD and told me I had to try it. I turned my nose up initially, as it was banana-flavored bourbon, which sounded disgusting. But I've never in my life turned down a free drink, so I tried a bit and have been searching for it ever since. Finally got my hands on a bottle tonight (note - it shouldn't be terribly hard to find nationwide, I've just been unlucky and missed it every time I've hit the liquor store).
I'll preface this by saying I do NOT enjoy artificial banana flavoring. I do like actual bananas on occasion, but I wouldn't say I was a massive fan or anything. But this stuff is great. Super smooth, and they use actual bananas - no fake flavors here. I find it far closer to a banana bread taste than something like a banana Laffy Taffy, but YMMV. Plus the price is nice at $27, so it won't break the bank to give it a try.
If you're not too snobby to try a flavored bourbon, I recommend it. I'm usually not one for the gimmick flavors either, but this one is really nicely balanced.

Re: Whatcha drinking?
There was a time that every winery made a sweet Reisling of some sort. It was the intro wine for the newcomers. Now if you find a reisling it is probably labeled as “dry”. But it is still sweet as all get out.

Obviously you've never been to a border town. Hot? Check. Terrible? Double-check. Why do you think so many people are trying to flee the country? Sure, drug cartels might be one reason, but I bet piss-hot beer ranks right up there.

Re: Whatcha drinking?
Ive narrowed down my rum interests to three names.
1. Don Q Coco
2. Kōloa Kauaʻi
3. Siesta Key
Of these three I am leaning at this time to Don Q Coco. Has anyone here had any tastes of these three rums? Don Q is a Puerto Rican rum. Koloa is a Hawaiian and Siesta Key is Florida if that matters. Not to me.
