"Debauchery" - 2009
This wonderful sweet red wine comes from the Frontenac grape with a medium nose. It comes across the pallet full and deep and at 19% alcohol rises into our warm you up category.

Frozen February Favorites
1st: Saint Croix Vineyards - www.scvwines.com
"La Crescent" - 2009
Is it any wonder we like this wine? It won the "Minnesota Governor's Cup" trophy at the 2010 International Cold Climate Wine Competition. That being said, this white desert wine is delightful, with floral notes and hints of apricot and tangerine to the taste buds.
2nd: Cannon River Winery - www.cannonriverwinery.com
"Sogn Blanc" - 2008
Check out these credentials: 2006 Tasters Guild International Award, 2009 International Cold Climate Wine Competition, among many others you'll find on their site. Sogn Blanc is a beautiful blush wine with a delicate sweetness made from Edelweiss grapes. You will find the peach, white grape, pineapple and mango aromas highly pleasing. We paired with Jambalaya and found a hint of cotton candy with a wonderful fresh grape nose.

St. Paul 125th Winter Carnival & Super Bowl Weekend
1st: Mt. Valley Vineyards - http://www.mtvalleyvineyards.com/
"Beaver Creek" - 2008
A white table wine with a hint of raisin to the nose. Lightly sweet, not dry with a very slight creaminess in sipping. A good pick for an every day white wine. Mt. Valley Vineyards hale from Forest City, Iowa. We found them while on a trip to a family reunion. The people at Mt. Valley are very friendly and you will enjoy your visit there.
2nd: Barefoot Wine - http://www.barefootwine.com/
"Moscato" - 2010
Barefoot Moscato is a lightly sweet white wine with notes of peach and apricot running through it. Hints of orange and lemon help make for a crisp finish.

"Sweet Red" - 2010
A semi sweet red wine with flavors of raspberry and cherry surrounding it. You will enjoy it by itself or with your next spicy beefed up meal.
