Ice Wines

Ice wine is not wine over ice cubes. They are a variety of wines produced from grapes that have frozen on the vine. Originally developed in Germany, they have found a home in Minnesota. Vintners found the thawing and freezing result in intense flavor. The Winehaven Winery of Chisago City has patented the "Chisago" grape, which is winter hardy to -40 degrees. If you are interested in an award winning ice wine, try the envy of the Napa Valley: Winehaven's Deer Garden Red. http://www.winehaven.com/Red2369.php
