This is our neighborhood winery, Casa Larga. Wine country is more to the south and east here in New York and typically around the Finger Lakes (about 30 miles away). The winery is only 1-1/2 miles from my house. The wine is excellent though and has won many awards. Casa Larga is well known for its ice wines, a type of dessert wine produced from grapes that have been frozen while still on the vine. The sugars and other dissolved solids do not freeze, but the water does, allowing a more concentrated grape must to be pressed from the frozen grapes, resulting in a smaller amount of more concentrated, very sweet wine. With ice wines, the freezing happens before the fermentation, not afterwards (courtesy of Wikipedia). Due to the risk and labor-intensive process, these wines are VERY expensive. The cheapest one that they sell is $45 a bottle...too much for my pocketbook!
