Sweet wine is usually not my thing. The late harvest vidal is sweet however I really enjoyed this more than I think I would an ice wine served with desert. Bev Carnahanpair stated that the wine should be sweeter than the dessert for a good pairing. This was a nice pairing and is a perfect way to end a nice dinner.
I had this wine at the Colio Wine and Food pairing event. This wine was a perfect match to the sparkling wine zagalione with fresh friut compote.
Nice looking wine but a bit too sweet for my taste.
