I crossed another thing off my bucket list .
As I shopped until I dropped at the Rideau Centre in Ottawa, I stopped at the province of Ontario liquor store , The LBCO or Liquor Board of Ontario.
I brought a bottle of Ice Wine , which is number 2 on my bucket list.
It’s actually pretty good and I’m not really a wine drinker.
Jack Daniels, Patron Tequila and Fireball Whiskey is more like it for me.
I’m here in Ottawa for two more days and I’m drinking this sucker before I go back to New York .
How can I describe the taste of it?
The saleslady told me it was more like a desert wine, so drink small glasses.
She was right.
Why is it called “ice wine”?
Could be that the grapes are frozen and the wine is cold even when it’s on the shelf, but I’m not really sure.
It wasn’t that expensive either.
$15.99 Canadian , I can deal with it.
One more thing off the bucket list with more to come.
In my country there are only white and red wine! We do not have ice wine, although we have snow, ice and cold.

I’ve never heard of this Ice Wine! Interesting that it stays cold even when on the shelf.

They have it in Canada mostly and I’ve been wanting to try it for the longest time. It’s so wicked good and it was cold even in the box.

Apparently they freeze the grapes and make the wine from that. That’s how it stays cold. They also have Ice Cider, which is only found in the province of Quebec I think but not sure. Gotta check that out.

My friend couldn’t believe it either when I told her, but she felt the bottle after I opened it and it was still cold, even though we didn’t have a refrigerator in the room.

If someone from Canada sent it to me in the mail, do you think it would still be cold when I received it?
