OMG…. I cannot believe how hilarious and witty you are… I stumbled across this 599 video, when I was planning my wine trip to Prosser and Benton City… Kiona is the first icewine I ever tasted….and now I am an addict for icewines…which lead into Late Harvests…and Moscatos….. and Moscato di' Astis…… yep. Sweet wine for me! So…… just had to say…I am joining you on FB…and hope to catch more of you in the future! You rock!

Of all the wines that I’ve read about, the Ice Wines piqued my interest more than any other. I stepped into the wine shop nearest my house and found a bottle of the Kiona. Was pleasantly surprised to see that you had reviewed it here. I look forward to opening and tasting it.

Gary, when’s the next time you’ll do more tastings from the cold regions?

While you’re at it, why not get back to another show of sweet wine reveiws? I’d love to see some Sauterne, Tokay (Tokaji), or Trockenbeerenauslese reviews. Especially the last two. Tell us how the nations of the Rhineland are doing as a wine producing region.

This is JJ Williams from Kiona. We have had a number of calls from your viewers… keep them coming!

We just bottled up the 2008 Ice Wine. Historically, our Ice Wine has been primarily Chenin Blanc, but for two or three years (including the 2006 vintage in this review) we blended it with Riesling. For this current vintage, we have switched back to Chenin Blanc, so even if you have had a Kiona Ice Wine recently, it would be worthwhile to check out the new 2008 vintage.

Thanks for the great review! Cheers!

Im really suprised so many people can say they don’t like iced wines. I’m obsessed. Have visited niagra region on several occasions and even did a harvest. Its like saying you don’t like chocolate. 2004 peller estate cabernet franc, unreal…
