Off to the North Shore


Just a slice of cold hearty heaven.

1st:  Hidden View Winery - http://www.hiddenviewwinery.com/
     Arabella's Kiss - 2010
          This is a Reisling Ice Wine with Toffee notes and a carmel pallet.  If you like Reisling or Ice Wine
          you'll want to try this one.

     Red Satin Kiss - 2010
          This is a Cabranet Franc Ice Wine with carmel notes and a strawberry-carmel pallet.  This will be a
          wonderful sipping wine on a cold winters night.

When traveling close to Cloquet Minnesota don't miss this winery.  If you are looking to make some of your own wine but need a little help, check them out.  Thier selection is huge and you will probably find something that is tasteful to your pallet.  When stopping in say hello to Mandi for us.

2nd:   Scenic Valley Winery - http://www.scenicvalleywinery.com/
     Plum Wine - 2009
          Scenic Valley Winery makes a wonderful plum wine that is not overbearing nor understated.  It is  
          a delight on a cold winters night.

3rd:  Cannon River Winery - http://www.cannonriverwinery.com/
     Winter Ice - 2010
          This is a great Ice wine specially made for the Winter Carnival in 2010.  If you can still find some
          around grab it.  This sweet ice wine will warm up your winter eve.

     The Sundowner - 2007
          This wine was presented to us at a BBQ wine tasting put on by Eric Hendrickson of the Mahtomedi
          Liquor Barrell.  It is a medium body off-dry with lemon and lime notes.  Note: it is a South African
          wine so this was not a Texas BBQ we were at.  This is a great wine with fish and we paired it up with
          kabobs of shrimp, pork, peppers, and mushrooms on the grill.

5th:  Northern Vineyards - http://www.northernvineyards.com/
    Gold - 2009 
          This wine is made from partially frozen LaCrosse grapes and is similar to Ice Wine.  This is a sweet
          wine with an apricot finish. Wonderful to sip by the fire.

"Winter Weather, Warm Fires, Fresh Air, Ice Wine, snuggle in for a moment, savor what we are given."
