Ice, Ice Baby!
It’s official! Summer is here and it is HOT outside. When the weather is this warm I like to enjoy the sunshine by sipping on a nice chilled wine- like the Selection French Rosé or one of my dwindling stock of Limited Edition Pacific
Quartet.
How do I keep these wines nicely chilled on a hot day you ask? My secret is ICE. I have an aluminium ice bucket to keep the bottle of wine cool, and I will put a cube or two of ice in my glass of wine to keep the wine chilled while I enjoy it.
Now you’re asking is it good wine etiquette to put ice cubes in wine? For some styles like a crisp French Rose ice is perfectly acceptable and for Niagara Mist and Island Mist ice is required!
A little nervous about breaking the ‘rules of etiquette’ ? Make some ice cubes out of wine and you’re ready to go!
But most importantly- however You enjoy your wine… it’s acceptable 😉
Enjoy the warm weather!
Cheers,
Bruce, Manager (Wine Sense- Pembina Hwy)
