The first ever Icewine Tasting Tele Seminar
On October 27th, 2008, the first ever Icewine Tasting Tele Seminar was held in Toronto. Ten people chilled a bottle of Northern Ice Vidal, called into a bridge line from the comfort of their home and participated in a sensory evaluation session with other wine aficionados.
"What a wonderful taste experience tonight. I never realized just how much more one could appreciate a wine, simply by having the knowledgeable wine maker and a sensory advisor explain the history, challenges and the art of making (and tasting) Northern Ice. Harmony, texture, mouth-feel...I learned a whole new vocabulary. And to think, the experience was conducted was over the phone." Mark Fodchuk, The Marketing Chef
