I am a showstopper. You may have found me milling about during the NYS Ice Wine Festival. Just as a crowd gives a standing ovation with hopes of an encore, my tribute was the hundreds of wine glasses that returned to me longing for a refill. I am always ready and waiting patiently to take the plunge from my bottle to slip into something more comfortable – your wine glass.
A glowing ballerina, I take my time stretching my gold-colored legs to prepare for my performance. Then, all is still as I take my place in your glass. I let you take the lead by pulling me close to you, holding the stem of your glass in place, and our dance begins. You swirl me around and I start twirling, and spinning, working hard to bring scents of a fruitful and flowering bouquet to entertain your nose. The dance concludes when you dip me towards your palette, and my aromatic scents are then transformed into sweet and robust honey and apricot flavors for our final embrace.
What I’ve heard from my audience: “It’s as if I am drinking liquid sunshine.”
Who am I? 2006 Fiori Vidal Ice Wine
The Fiori Vidal Ice Wine can be found at Casa Larga Vineyards and in celebration of ice wine month, it can be purchased for $29.99 (typically priced at $44.99).
To enjoy the wine even further, I’d recommend sipping from a Riedel Vinum Extreme ice wine glass. Its exclusive design not only boosts the wine’s perfumes, but also allows the wine to fall precisely on the tip of the tongue to enhance the sweetness. For more information visit www.casalarga.com.

My name is a common one, frequently spotted on menus galore, but the manner in which I am prepped, puffed, flamed and finished is deliciously one-of-a-kind. My protein starts as a simple, clean canvas, sliced just enough to allow me to become slim, succulent and tender. I am doused into an egg mixture and briefly sautéed to puff up my outer coating. Before I know it, it’s time to literally kick up the heat up a notch as I burst into flames of sherry, swirl in glistening lemon juice and frothy butter, and then am suitably powdered with Parmesan cheese and tossed with parsley flakes.
I emerge before your hungry eyes lounged atop a heap of unruly angel hair, exuding lovely scents of fresh lemon and invigorating sherry wine. Modeling my amply infused golden coat with confidence, my luscious flavors form a creamy sauce that eagerly wraps its arms around thin strings of pasta, with just enough left over to reach the plate’s edge. My exceptional flavors are in ultimate balance, superbly uniting to joyfully please the nose and subsequently explode onto your taste buds. You will find me so satisfying, that you will do everything you can to savor each and every bite, until every last drop has been lovingly consumed. Then, and only then, I consider my mission accomplished.
What I’ve heard from my audience: “I don’t want it to end.”
