Debonne Vineyards Vidal Blanc 2006 (Grand River Valley)

Debonne Vineyards produces another Gold Medal winning wine with the 2006 vintage of their Grand River Valley Vidal Blanc.

This wine offers a beautiful, rich, amber color as well as the sweetness and thick viscosity you would expect from an ice wine. Reviews were mixed among our crowd, but you either LOVE it or hate it. Those that didn't enjoy the wine pointed out its over-ripe fruit characteristics while the fans pointed to the exact same traits!

I'm not the biggest fan of such a sweet wine, but I love having a bottle around. I may not typically choose an ice wine, but when I do, nothing else can substitute.
