Wine is way overrated and just plain nasty like beer !!!
CR -- ice wine to me tastes like honey ...
mmm .. you DO like honey, dontcha ?? (and I don't mean mead = wine made from honey)
yes, it's unusual to find ice wine any place other than the winery itself, or a specialty wine store
and yes, it's usually at a premium price since it takes more grapes to make the same amount of wine ...
HOWEVER, if you make your own dandelion wine, and use golden raisins in it, you can come up with a quite-similar-tasting libation
I have some of that which is coming up on 30 years old, and it still tastes splendid
I didn't have enough standard Sunmaid raisins, nor currants, to make the recipe I was given, so I used mainly golden raisins I'd gotten a year or two earlier, to make fruitcake .... serendipity !
