The Wine Experience      
Dessert Wine   

Everyone at The Wine Experience loves dessert.   But instead of cake, cookies or ice cream we love to sip a sweet dessert wine.

Now, when we say "sweet", some folks say "yuck."   But late harvest dessert wines are scrumptious enough to stand alone.

The grapes are left on the vine longer and picked after the normal harvest.   Some are then dried even further before pressing.   Others come from grapes that have a fungus called Botrytis . . . hang on, it's a good thing . . . These grapes have more concentrated flavor and higher sugar content.

With these wines, you taste more than sweetness.   The wines are intensely flavorful . . . almost like a spoon of honey.

The classic examples are from Germany and France but even Canada and northern Michigan make a terrific dessert wine called Ice Wine.   It's actually made from grapes that freeze on the vines.   Talk about late harvest!
