Inniskillin 2003 Icewine Vidal Blanc (Niagara Peninsula)
- $59
Brilliant stuff that shows not all hybrids deserve to be scoffed at. Flamboyant aromas of dried pineapple combine with fresh apricots and honey in this rich, unctuous wine that’s incredibly sweet yet not cloying, thanks to vibrant acidity. Imported by Vincor USA.

Inniskillin 2005 Icewine Gold Vidal Blanc (Niagara Peninsula)
- $80
There’s a classic, elegant nose of apricot, apple and spice on this rich, golden dessert wine, and the flavors of mango, fig and honey have a touch of raciness and spice that balances the components beautifully. A lingering finish and overall exquisite play of flavors ensures that Inniskillin is still one os the best producers of ice wine in the world.

Konzelmann 2006 Icewine Vidal Blanc (Niagara Peninsula)
- $55
One of the more expensive Niagara icewines, Konzelman lives up to its price tag with this stylish blend of marzipan and almond notes on the nose and an intense palate laced with macaroon and honey flavors. The long finish shows a nice acidic lift.

Inniskillin 2007 Icewine Vidal Blanc (Niagara Peninsula)
- $60
There’s incredible depth of both flavor and texture in this golden icewine from Inniskillin. Initially, it’s rich and creamy on the tongue with notes of honey, waxy florals and apple. Then, bright flashes of acidity bring forth tones of tangerine and Meyer lemon. Long and languorous on the finish, it’s a gorgeous wine all around.

Standing Stone 2008 Vidal Ice Vidal Blanc
- $25
Just a whiff of this deep gold Vidal Blanc reveals layers of smoke melded with honey and fresh apples. The palate is deeply complex with flavors that include pretty florals, rich pineapple, citrus and a compelling smoked nut skin note. The super-long finish is marked by zippy acidity and a lovely astringency.

Inniskillin 2003 Oak Aged Icewine Vidal Blanc (Niagara Peninsula)
- $80
If you like your wines over-the-top sweet, this one’s for you. Sticky and sweet, with powerful flavors of orange marmalade. Impressive, but lacking the precise, focused nature of the very best. Imported by Vincor USA.

Inniskillin 2002 Sparkling Icewine Vidal Blanc (Niagara Peninsula)
- $90
Perfumey aromas of corn, melon and ginger set the stage for one of the more unique wines on the market. It’s a true dessert-level ice wine, but one with a creamy mouthfeel, thanks to the multitude of tiny bubbles that seem to aid in balancing the sweetness. Strange at first, but tasty. Imported by Vincor USA.
