We spent a weekend in the Finger Lakes wine region, where ice wines seem to be the current rage. The area has particularly good Rieslings and early frosts - I think those two combine to make good conditions for ice wines.
It's a pity the only ice wine we tried was from the Hamptons, at Duck Walk Vineyards, but it was still quite nice.
It had an extremely rich, green apple nose. I also detected a little pear. The main flavors are apricot and honey, though there's a little apple in the finish. Is was quite sweet - a great dessert wine.
