Flight of iced wines

So this is something I have never had before. This is a vintage ice
wine selection of four grapes from France and Germany -
Inniskillin reisling, cab franc, Vidal oak aged. These are 20 years
old. They come from the vines and the grapes are not harvested until
after they are shriveled on the vines and the first frost happens.
The skins are removed and the grapes are crushed while frozen. Then
they bottle and keep cold. Not much alcohol goes into the wine, maybe
1-2%. But its SOO sweet and rich. Super great and we shared them
with the group. I LOVE this restaurant! I just wish Rachel could be
here. Even my parents would love his place. Next year....

AHHHH! I can't believe we missed this dinner! What a fun evening and perfect pairings are always sublime. Kev shared stories and I now have Berns on my A-List for 2008 :)

Good times in Tampa. It was fun hanging out at the KISS Booth!
