"Isis" - 2011
It's ice wine, what more do I need to say? ABV does an outstanding job with this one. Notes of apricot, peaches, and honey run across your pallet. A sweet desert wine you don't want to miss.

"Solaris" - 2011
This wine is new for ABV, and they hit the mark right on!!! This is a brandy-infused WHITE wine. Yes, I said, WHITE wine. It will warm the cockles of your heart as flavors of peaches, figs, and honey dance across your tongue. It's winter in Minnesota, and even though it's a brown Christmas it's nice to warm up with this awesome wine on a cold winter night!!

The Holiday Season
1st: Lioco - http://www.liocowine.com/
"Chardonnay" - 2010
This is a great wine paired with chicken and I'm going to give you the description off the bottle because it's right on.
Nose of fresh meyer lemon, lime leaf and river stones. Flavor of lemon drop candies, green pair, and mineral. Food pairings with green curry chicken, dungeoness crab, fish chowder.

"Ratafia" - 2009
If you don't have one of these in your rack for this time of year you are missing out! This wine is a mixture of Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year all packed into triangular blue bottle. I suggest it for sippping with a loved one, or small group of close friends.
This is a red fortified sweet dessert wine infused with orange. It is toasty, spicy, nutty, and brings out everything that reminds me of Christmas.

Wine From Way Down South
1st: Victor Hugo Winery - http://www.victorhugowinery.com/
"Morio Muscat" - 2006
Pulled out this wine to sip for a relaxing winter night and it was awesome! That's why it was in the wine rack. This winery produces great wines and this was one of them. When I say down south I mean -South Africa. This is a straw colored sweet wine with notes of honeysuckle and jasmine. Deep grape notes and honey with a hint of fig roll across the palate. This is one to hunt for. I suggest starting with Eric at the Liquor Barrell in Mahtomedi - http://www.mahtomediliquorbarrel.com/. Tell him "The Winers Crier" sent you :)
