We All Scream for Wine Ice Cream

admin — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 18:47:59 +0000

This is the answer to every wine lovers dream. Wine Ice Cream by Mercer’s Dairy in New York.

Mercer’s calls it “The Ultimate Pairing.” I have to agree. Mercer’s has been producing ice cream for over 50 years, but they mastered the art of blending ice cream with wine in 2006. Needless to say, they are pioneers of this unique dessert.

It’s not wine flavored ice cream. It’s real wine, with 5% alcohol, so you must be 21 years of age to partake.

There are six wine ice cream parings – Port, Merlot, Cabernet, White Zinfandel, Chardonnay and White Riesling.

*Ala Port
*Cherry Merlot
*Chocolate Cabernet
*Peach White Zinfandel
*Red Raspberry Chardonnay
*Royal White Riesling

They left no favorite wine unchurned, and they plan to add more flavors, so stay tuned.

Cheers!

Wine Review

Kendall Jackson Grand Reserve Chardonnay 2007

If you have to pick just one word to describe Kendall Jackson wines, that word is exquisite; and Kendall-Jackson’s 2007 Grand Reserve Chardonnay is no exception. It is elegant and tropical, with hints of lemon oil essence, key lime and yellow grapefruit. Kendall-Jackson made the 2007 Grand Reserve Chardonnay with notes of ripe pineapple and mango laced throughout. This gracefully balanced Chardonnay is lushly layered with a firm acidity, enchanting creamy texture and a finish that lingers on and on.

Expert Wine Reviews

Kendall Jackson Grand Reserve Chardonnay 2007

“Some serious vineyards’ fruit is included in this wine, which no doubt explains the big, tropical fruit-scented nose, fine acidity, and medium to full-bodied flavors. It is an amazing Chardonnay for the price.”

90 Points

The Wine Advocate

“Monterey’s cool-climate flavors of lemons and limes marry richer, more tropical Santa Barbara notes in this creamy smooth Chardonnay. Oak plays a prominent role, lending an edge of vanilla and buttered toast. This is a very good price for the quality. “

Lindemans Wine

Australia is the home of Lindemans Wine. Their chardonnay is outstanding. It has a nice crips, yet smooth taste. No matter what wine you favor; white or red wine, Lindemans offers a quality brand for a reasonable price.

Lindemans Bin 65 Chardonnay is internationally known as one of the best wines in the world. The wine is rated highly because Lindeman produces consistent quality, and the industry credits them for adherening to the style formula and sourcing of the best parcels of fruit from a wide array of premium growing areas throughout the southern states of Australia.

Try Lindemans and see what you think.

If you are a wine lover. You have to see this commercial on YouTube about a new product that delivers wine directly from your lap top. It’s histerical. I know several people who would jump at the chance.

Cheers!

Chardonnay Under $20

admin — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 12:56:59 +0000

With all the benefits associated with drinking red wine, I should probably broaden my selections, but my favorite wine is not red, it’s white. And my favorite white wine is Chardonnay.

Chardonnay’s homeland is France. It is very popular, versatile, and easy to grow. Chardonnay is now found in every wine-producing country, but California was the first region to produce excellent wines from Chardonnay outside of France. You can find many excellent Chardonnay wines from every wine producing country, including Canada, Chile, Australia, Argentina, Spain and Italy.

Chardonnay produces fine wines that are full bodied, with a creamy and buttery flavor. Another key component to the flavor of Chardonnay is oak. Most Chardonnay’s are aged in oak barrels. Less expensive brands are flavored with oak chips. Aging Chardonnay in oak is what gives it that familiar buttery, creamy, smoky and vanilla uniqueness.

My three favorite Chardonnays’ are available almost everywhere. They are all under $20 and have varied tastes – they are Woodbridge Chardonnay, Lindeman’s Chardonnay, and Yellow Tail Chardonnay.

Woodbridge Chardonnay is a full bodied Californian wine with delicious fresh citrus, apple, tropical fruit, and orange blossom and spice characteristics. It’s a classic dry white wine with effervescent aromas. Barrel fermentation and aging add complexity and a hint of creamy oak to the finish.

Lindeman’s Chardonnay is a crisp tasting Australian wine with mostly tropical fruit, citrus and fig aromas. The dominant flavors are pear, citrus, cedar, and spice with an oak finish. It is said to be 100% Chardonnay, and you may be pleasantly surprised and delighted with this substantial Chardonnay.

Yellow Tail Chardonnay, is another Australian wine with peaches, coconut, vanilla and spice aromas. It is silky smooth, medium-bodied, with flavors of tropical fruits, peaches, coconut and toasty oak. It’s a really well balanced Chardonnay.

So don’t let the economy bother you. Grab a great bottle of Chardonnay on the way home.

Cheers!
