Ice, Ice, Baby! This week the Winos will be learning about Ice Wine (Eiswein), while evaluating wine glass shape as it applies to the overall enjoyment of our favorite fermented beverages. Here's to life!

JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:00 AM

T.G.I.W!!!
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:00 AM

Amen!
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:00 AM

It's Wine Wednesday!
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:00 AM

My favorite time of the week.
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:00 AM

We're competing against the season premier of Survivor tonight. Bet they wish they had some wine.
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:01 AM

I don't even have tv.
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:01 AM

But I have wine.
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:01 AM

And that's way more entertaining.
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:01 AM

I have to say, it's really cool to see all these familiar "faces" hanging out with us here each week. Thanks, guys! Welcome back!
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:01 AM

Molly on wine IS entertaining! I can vouch for that!
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:02 AM

So, this week, we're talking Ice Wines. Mr. Sladek, this was your idea as I recall, so prepare to be put on the spot!
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:03 AM

Wow...you guys are kinda quite this evening. Better pop those corks!
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:03 AM

*quiet
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:04 AM

Sorry...I keep losing my internet connection.
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:04 AM

As well as discussing the importance of the shape of the wine glass for maximum enjoyment of various varietals.

ok what's everyone drinking ?

JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:05 AM

Molly, are you still in Miami?
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:05 AM

Nope...got back this afternoon.
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:05 AM

★ Spotlighted from Rachel McDonnell

ice wines what's that?

JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:06 AM

Hi, Rachel! Michael Sladek - you wanna field Rachel's question? You did such a good job explaining it last week! :)
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:06 AM

I'm drinking Selaks Ice Wine
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:06 AM

★ Spotlighted from Rachel McDonnell

I'm drinking some Rum... I know, I know... I should have some wine... but it's been a long day lol

JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:06 AM

Now we know why the rum's always gone!
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:06 AM

I'm also going to go into an insulin coma after drinking this. SWEET.
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:07 AM

I couldn't even find an Ice Wine, but I did grab a late harvest Riesling. Being that I'm not a huge fan of sweet wines in the first place, I figured it would be adequately offensive either way. lol
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:08 AM

So I have a backup glass right next to my Riesling. lol. Worst case scenario, I'll save the rest of the bottle for when Mom comes to visit! Okay...here goes!
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:08 AM

late harvest Rieslings are a decent substitute when you don't want to die from sugar overdose.
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:09 AM

Oh, Gawd, Molly - I can't imagine anything sweeter than this!
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:09 AM

I know...I'm kinda choking it down.
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:09 AM

All for you people! That's how much I love you.
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:10 AM

Back to Rachel's question, "What is Ice Wine?", it's when the grapes are allowed to freeze on the vine and are then immediately harvested. the sugars are more concentrated, making this syrup-y sweet wine.
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:11 AM

★ Spotlighted from Sean Donaghy

from what I saw on the five minutes of reseach a lot of the ice wines were Rieslings or muscato's

MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:11 AM

Yes, that it definitely is.
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:11 AM

I'd rather drink syrup
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:11 AM

Right, Sean. And gewurztraminer (that's so much fun to say!)
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:11 AM

I toured a winery in Canada once that is a large producer of ice wines.
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:11 AM

When in Canada...
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:12 AM

★ Spotlighted from Sean Donaghy

the sacrifice's she makes for us, truly touched

JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:12 AM

The love runs deep among the Winos, Sean...
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:12 AM

It's a fairly risky production for a winery.
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:12 AM

Apologies to anyone who is enjoying this, though. lol
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:12 AM

As the grapes need to be harvested at just the right temperature.
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:13 AM

Good point, Molly. And they have to be harvested pretty much all at once, so you've got to have that man power kind of "on-call".
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:13 AM

★ Spotlighted from Rachel McDonnell

cut it with some pop! lol! :D

MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:13 AM

Slades is going to have to hop on here and give recommendations as to good ice wines.
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:13 AM

Nice, Rachel! We could make it a spritzer! lol
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:14 AM

@Rachel...I miss people who use the word "pop"
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:14 AM

Down here in GA it's soda or coke (like what kind of coke do you have?)
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:14 AM

★ Spotlighted from Rachel McDonnell

yes it is pop not soda. ;)

MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:14 AM

★ Spotlighted from Sean Donaghy

speaking of temperature we can discuss quick chilling techniques

JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:15 AM

Is everybody getting their comments through okay? I see some folks in the forum that are typically pretty chatty, but not hearing from them.
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:15 AM

If you live in MN or WI you can just chill it on the back step.
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:15 AM

Their hands are stuck together from the syrupy wine.
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:15 AM

You have no idea how many bottles of wine have been chilled in the snow bank on my deck!
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:16 AM

★ Spotlighted from Rachel McDonnell

the upside to minnesota winters? never need a cooler! :)

JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:16 AM

Haha, Molly! Probably...We've imprisoned them with Ice Wine!
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:16 AM

★ Spotlighted from Rachel McDonnell

jenn you can tell people to refresh the page if their comments aren't showing up

JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:16 AM

Anybody experiencing technical difficulties, refresh your page. Thanks for the tip, Rae!
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:16 AM

★ Spotlighted from Sean Donaghy

my chilling technique tonight, ice and salt, basic ice cream approach

JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:17 AM

★ Spotlighted from Rachel McDonnell

so you drink the wine cold?

JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:17 AM

★ Spotlighted from Sean Donaghy

also the tawk runs much better on ie than google chrome

MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:17 AM

@ Sean How did you do that?
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:17 AM

I'd like to hear this one, too...
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:17 AM

I don't like ice cream so I've never made it.
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:18 AM

Because it's too sweet? lol
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:18 AM

Exactly.
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:18 AM

★ Spotlighted from Sean Donaghy

bottle in a larger pitcher, layers of ice around the bottle, salt each two inch layer on your way up

MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:18 AM

I do NOT have a sweet tooth. Some women eat a pint of ice cream and I eat a bag of doritos
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:18 AM

I'm with ya. We're salty!
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:18 AM

★ Spotlighted from Rachel McDonnell

why do you need the salt?

JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:19 AM

★ Spotlighted from Sean Donaghy

home at 7:45 chilled by 8:50

MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:19 AM

★ Spotlighted from Sean Donaghy

salt lowers the temperature

JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:19 AM

That's a great trick, Sean! Thanks for sharing!
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:19 AM

Hmmm, maybe my love of salt is why I'm so cold hearted?
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:20 AM

We're not cold hearted, Molly - we're perfectly chilled.
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:20 AM

★ Spotlighted from Sean Donaghy

and Molly do we want to use the singular bag, of dorito's or the plural, bags

MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:20 AM

Ha! Jen! I love it.
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:21 AM

Quit bringing me doritos at work, @sean...I need to save my calorie consumption for wine.
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:21 AM

★ Spotlighted from Rachel McDonnell

I don't think either of you could be cold hearted... except maybe to those in turtlenecks

JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:21 AM

Okay, so I'd like to hear from anyone who is truly enjoying their ice wine, this evening. Anyone? Bueller?
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:21 AM

Ahh...out with the turtlenecks already! :)
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:22 AM

★ Spotlighted from Rachel McDonnell

(I'm enjoying my Rum, Savvy?)

JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:22 AM

Maybe I could spike my wine with rum?
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:22 AM

★ Spotlighted from Sean Donaghy

Riesling (sp ?) for me

MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:22 AM

I'm going to spike mine with the garbage and go for a Moscato instead.
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:23 AM

Oh, of course. I'm sure you'll enjoy that much more! lol
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:23 AM

★ Spotlighted from Sean Donaghy

and we have our first wine tragedy of the evening

MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:23 AM

I've heard from a very reputable source that the Inniskillin Ice Wine is the one to go with.
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:24 AM

But that was $90/bottle and soo.....
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:24 AM

★ Spotlighted from Rachel McDonnell

Moscato is like the only white wine I really like

MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:24 AM

I wouldn't call it a tragedy, per se
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:24 AM

★ Spotlighted from Rachel McDonnell

holy crap! I don't think I could ever spend that much on a bottle!

MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:25 AM

I just can do the sweet stuff enough to justify that kind of money.
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:25 AM

★ Spotlighted from Rachel McDonnell

that's like 8-9 bottles of wine! lol

JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:25 AM

Well, should we give these poor wines a break and move on to wine glasses?
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:25 AM

@Rachel...can you imagine the number of boxes that would buy???
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:25 AM

I agree with you Molly. I'm not opposed to forking out for a nice bottle of wine, but I better know I'm gonna love it!
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:26 AM

★ Spotlighted from Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle

I had a bottle of wine in Washington State once that cost $200...an apple wine...delicious

MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:26 AM

Apple? Sounds intriguing.
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:26 AM

★ Spotlighted from Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle

Wine glass...red and plastic...

JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:26 AM

★ Spotlighted from Rachel McDonnell

yes! what's the perfect shape of wine glass? (Hi JD!)

JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:27 AM

Well, Rachel, ever since we learned that those shallow champagne glasses were modeled in the form of Marie Antoinette's left breast, I find that glass shape rather intriguing...
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:28 AM

★ Spotlighted from Sean Donaghy

wow how precise, her left breast

JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:28 AM

★ Spotlighted from Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle

Oh, wait that's a beer cup

JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:28 AM

lol, Arbuckle - it works for wine in a pinch. Welcome, btw!
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:29 AM

anybody wanna venture a guess as to why red wine glasses are more bulbous than white (sorry, just had an urge to use that word)
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:29 AM

★ Spotlighted from Sean Donaghy

I think it has something to do with more aeration into the glass

JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:29 AM

★ Spotlighted from Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle

My wine glasses are very large with the tiny little rim...the dude at the store said they were good for all wines. What's the diff?

JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:29 AM

That would be an "all purpose" wine glass - suitable for everyday drinking...
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:30 AM

★ Spotlighted from Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle

a pinch or a HOT TUB!!!

MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:30 AM

★ Spotlighted from Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle

bulbus

JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:30 AM

Lol. Winos - don't ask. Just trust me on that.
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:30 AM

★ Spotlighted from Rachel McDonnell

red wines have to "breathe"

MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:30 AM

★ Spotlighted from Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle

My champagne flutes have no little rim, so what's the deal with the little rim and keep it clean please!

JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:32 AM

Yes, Rachel. Exposure to the air helps the bolder flavors of red wine to come forth. The lighter flavors typical to many white wines are better accentuated as they are - without so much exposure.
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:33 AM

★ Spotlighted from Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle

I"m with you Rachel, if it comes in a bottle, it's already in glass!!

MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:33 AM

@Arbuckle...sometimes that's the most efficient.
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:33 AM

Champagne flutes have the smaller opening at the top because that is the optimum shape for showcasing the lighter, more delicate flavors inherent to champagne. The tallness of a champagne flute is really more for aesthetics -
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:33 AM

...to show off (and preserve) the tiny bubbles.
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:34 AM

I love that you know this, Jen :)
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:34 AM

Yes, and sometimes we just take a swig, cuz we're classy like that. I like to serve mine in a brown paper bag...
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:34 AM

★ Spotlighted from Sean Donaghy

I'm guessing but I would think the champaign flutes have something to do with the fact that there are so many bubbles

JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:34 AM

Yes, Sean - see above. :)
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:35 AM

★ Spotlighted from Rachel McDonnell

or a mason jar! haha!

JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:35 AM

I could be making it all up. You never know. lol
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:35 AM

I save the Mason jar for moonshine...I live in the south after all :)
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:35 AM

Ohhhh, Rachel! Those were the good old days!
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:36 AM

soooo, back to the stemware discussion...
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:36 AM

Okay, here's another question, Winos...why is the stem so important?
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 2:36 AM

The quality of the glass as well as the shape make a very distinct difference.
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:37 AM

That's true, Molly, but don't you think that's more aesthetics than anything else? There's nothing like a great wine glass, that's for sure!
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:38 AM

★ Spotlighted from Rachel McDonnell

I guess I never thought of that.. I don't know. why is the stem important?

JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:38 AM

Temperature control. The warmth of your hand can affect the presentation of the wine.
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:38 AM

★ Spotlighted from Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle

I really want to know since we feature so many stemless charms at Woodsy Wino...

JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:38 AM

★ Spotlighted from Sean Donaghy

the wolfpack is having internet issues

JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:39 AM

Thanks for the head's up, Sean. She'll be back...
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:39 AM

Arbuckle - I prefer the stemless glasses because they have a lesser tendency to get broken at my house. Plus my wine's usually gone before temperature change could possibly become an issue. lol
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:40 AM

Convenience. Practicality. A general reduction in Wine Snobbery...
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:40 AM

★ Spotlighted from Sean Donaghy

Ooohh Oooh time for a shameless plug Woodsy Wino

JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:40 AM

lol, Sean. Don't worry - I've got something special for y'all tonight. :)
JF

HAHA!

JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:40 AM

★ Spotlighted from Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle

I was going to mention that I hold the glass, stemmed, by the bulbus area

JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:41 AM

It's usually okay to hold your bulbous area if you're drinking a red wine (or a micro brew)
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:41 AM

and let's also not forget one of our hosts is having a Birthday Friday

So funny story about my birthday...a lady asked me today if my 25 year old sister was my daughter.
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:44 AM

Molly is not a huge fan of ice wine

JF

Jennifer Finnell · 2:46 AM

★ Spotlighted from Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle

We learned that bubbles are often bulbus...so they don't get the little rim

MW

bulbus used to make me think of skin disease. I'm glad my beloved winos have changed that.
