Joseph Phelps 2009 Eisrebe (375ML half-bottle) – Dessert Wine
Joseph Phelps 2009 Eisrebe (375ML half-bottle) – Dessert Wine
In 1994, the desire to produce an “ice wine,” or Eiswein, as it is called in Germany, prompted us to adopt an innovative program whereby Scheurebe grapes would be picked late in the season and then commercially frozen, thus concentrating their already-high sugar levels. We called the wine “Eisrébe.”
Although German Eisweins are produced from fruit that is actually picked frozen from the vine, we found that by freezing the grapes ourselves we could fashion a delicious dessert wine that is viscous and smooth, with excellent acidity to balance the sweetness.
The 2009 Scheurebe has delicate aromas of apricot, citrus blossom, honey, and crème caramel followed by a rich and unctuous texture integrated with well balanced, bright acidity and a persistent finish.
Grape & Source: 100% Scheurebe from our home ranch in Spring Valley outside of St. Helena in Napa Valley.

Sandeman 10 Year Old Tawny – Port Dessert Wine
Sandeman 10 Years Old Tawny is a vibrant premium aged wine, a balance of ripe fruit with oak aged intensity, which highlights Sandeman´s quality. Selected Portos wines are chosen for ageing in wooden vats and casks, concentrating all their fruit and flavour. The colour matures from deep ruby through to red amber, producing a delicious and vibrant Tawny Porto. Fruit and maturity are harmoniously balanced in a versatile wine, ideal to match a gourmet meal or entice a good moment.
The intense red tawny colour with shades of brick, typical of this style of aged yet youthful wine, anticipates the elegant and complex aroma, combining ripe fruit, jam and nuts, with hints of vanilla and raisins. In the mouth, Sandeman 10 Years Old Tawny is a most flavoursome wine, full-bodied and appealing, with a persistent finish.
Sandeman 10 Years Old Tawny is delicious served slightly chilled on its own and a surprising accompaniment to a rich appetizer or a strong blue cheese. It is also a perfect match to rich desserts from a tarte tatin, to custards, ice-cream, pudding with figs, nuts and raisins.

Quady 2010 Elysium Black Muscat – Dessert Wine
Amazing aroma reminiscent of roses. Elysium is used to either accompany or replace dessert. It is wonderful with blue cheeses, with desserts containing red fruits (such as Summer Pudding, an English favorite), with vanilla, with dark chocolate, with ice cream desserts, and candlelight. One favorite is to pour the wine onto vanilla ice cream.
