Grapes are left on the vine until the temp reaches -10 degrees Celsius for 3 consecutive days and then they are picked. The constant freezing and rethawing before they are picked concentrates the juice to one sweet, syruppy drop of goodness. The winemaking process begins right away and eventually…ice wine. I am not much for sweet wine, but I am a huge fan of this <span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="color: #009900;">magical</span> </span>libation. It is sweet and velvety smooth. And very, very yummy!

Niagra-On-The-Lake, Part I

<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: verdana; font-size: x-large;">Niagra-On-The-Lake</span><br /><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: verdana;"></span><br />Vineyards, flowers, beauty, cool breezes, theater, food and fun, fun, fun! That just about sums up my recent trip to Niagra-On-The-Lake, Canada. Except for…. shopping, wine tasting, strolling, pub hopping, sight seeing, high tea, laughing, fine dining and being with my sister who is my very best friend.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh04GVV2QOv-tB0poJmmCozyND7XMmLKt40TB_sGydANXfmNGgkc-BAo2skkkyjSyI7amYgk6Li1Rw5OrLEDEd6o282Yn7pCE6CJX8F3wx-lMxZxJoFWKo2BtxyVdG_eGs8uP0hWoJm-70/s1600-h/Niagra+18.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390790618753514370" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh04GVV2QOv-tB0poJmmCozyND7XMmLKt40TB_sGydANXfmNGgkc-BAo2skkkyjSyI7amYgk6Li1Rw5OrLEDEd6o282Yn7pCE6CJX8F3wx-lMxZxJoFWKo2BtxyVdG_eGs8uP0hWoJm-70/s400/Niagra+18.jpg" style="cursor: hand; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 300px;" /></a><br /><div>This was an encore trip to NOTL. Last year I went to Niagra Falls (YUCKY) on a 5 day vacation. After being breathtakingly impressed with the falls but VERY underwhelmed with the town, Bobby and I decided to get out of Dodge ( s0 to speak) and tour the surrounding countryside. And what a great idea! We just happened upon some of the most beautiful vineyards I have ever seen. We also found the most charming, flower-filled, friendly, sophicated, darling town: Niagra-On-The-Lake. We only spent 1 day there and I knew I would have to go back. Sooooo … 1 year later I went back with my Sister, Lisa for a long weekend to celebrate her birthday. It was even better than I remembered. <br /></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiggb7-bAWU3_WgPStPnCv6zkhpL6Jf22vsvul5rCpd631pyBbqBAY2aPVvTehSLDb7RK0fPCR4usYFFEw0Ea8o2Au-ZdeT4KiONnW6XObndYQZcz_V1pB2HMGg0GDnKzWWlTpnkHeGQ1s/s1600-h/Niagra+7.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390790023238700274" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiggb7-bAWU3_WgPStPnCv6zkhpL6Jf22vsvul5rCpd631pyBbqBAY2aPVvTehSLDb7RK0fPCR4usYFFEw0Ea8o2Au-ZdeT4KiONnW6XObndYQZcz_V1pB2HMGg0GDnKzWWlTpnkHeGQ1s/s400/Niagra+7.jpg" style="cursor: hand; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 300px;" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilfp9aRis7zQw5WSYseoGOPMXtZwXLpCypGqrKu-_hKe0XmJl5cQyrCooZJmVPqT9lyotzbYLY0BEBL1KgQFC5nwjk4owPWQDY-sVv-SzfG8W36OFsBTc2EheS_036fXxeq6OcKWH6kUc/s1600-h/Niagra+9.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390789873307401698" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilfp9aRis7zQw5WSYseoGOPMXtZwXLpCypGqrKu-_hKe0XmJl5cQyrCooZJmVPqT9lyotzbYLY0BEBL1KgQFC5nwjk4owPWQDY-sVv-SzfG8W36OFsBTc2EheS_036fXxeq6OcKWH6kUc/s400/Niagra+9.jpg" style="cursor: hand; display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj23Y5pOgb3X0j-W1P7W_ZiO0Fzy3V9E79k_R5ef9CBldk_gSiKkNy6AGpPx93sKoC672e276S-xrpqbrcTJ33SXaGOYy18RHqNnwzB3P4KrTwxdmwqGubrExg8XXMP1NIA8vd-9WQGxdU/s1600-h/Niagra+10.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390789750634111586" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj23Y5pOgb3X0j-W1P7W_ZiO0Fzy3V9E79k_R5ef9CBldk_gSiKkNy6AGpPx93sKoC672e276S-xrpqbrcTJ33SXaGOYy18RHqNnwzB3P4KrTwxdmwqGubrExg8XXMP1NIA8vd-9WQGxdU/s400/Niagra+10.jpg" style="cursor: hand; display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><br /><div>This is a GREAT vacation place.
