St. Hubertus Summer Symphony 2002


St. Hubertus Summer Symphony 2002

For dessert, we served this wine that our friends Sharon and Charles Eisbrenner brought back from their 2004 excursion to the Okanagan. It's an "ultra-late harvest" Pinot Blanc from the St. Huburtus Winery, dubbed Summer Symphony. The label says it was "picked while the ground was frozen underfoot," but apparently the grapes themselves weren't frozen, else this would be an ice wine.

Whatever, it was a lovely dessert wine, not quite as intense as full-blown (full-frozen?) ice wine, but very nice, and it went well with fruit and ice cream.
