What do you get when you freeze grapes on the vine and squeeze out just a few precious drops? One of the wildest wines we've ever tasted.
In this episode, we explore a 2022 Wagner Vineyards Ice Wine from New York’s Finger Lakes. It’s syrupy, it’s complex, and it’s way more than just “sweet.” We break down what makes ice wine so expensive, why its acidity blew us away, and how this dessert wine flipped our expectations.
Whether you're a Riesling fan, a wine nerd, or just curious about ice wine, this is the episode for you.
