I have a new thirty-dollar addiction, and it comes from Quebec. Icewines, for those not in the know, are very sweet dessert wines made by pressing frozen fruit so that the water content of the final wine is dramatically decreased- an article about these can be found here. I have a very unsophisticated palate when it comes to wines- I generally hate dryness and high tannin content, and am of the opinion that wine snobs secretly rate each wine based on how unlikely it is that a normal person would put it in their mouths- and I tried (and enjoyed) a couple of grape-based eisweins before discovering this little gem. If ever there were an ambrosia, I'm sure it came from Quebecois apples. Ice-cold and thick, it comes off refreshingly light, perfectly sweet, and with just a hint of natural carbonation. It's as if though someone got tired of only being able to properly enjoy apple cider in the winter and came up with a version that can be enjoyed any time of year. I still won't touch poutine, merci beaucoup, but this alone makes me proud of Quebec's distinctive cuisine. |
