Inniskillin Icewine Vintage 2002 Vidal...
Muahahahahahahahaha... Finally opened! haha...
For those who have no idea what is Icewine, haha... It's one of the best sweet white wine! haha... It bottled into smaller 375ml bottle instead of the normal 750ml bottle coz it's very little and precious, but taste heavenly! Grapes have to be harvested in freezing winter, where the grapes will be dehydrated by the cold. The concentration and acidity produce excellent wine but yield will also be low. It's one of the best wine i've ever tasted! haha... Anyway this bottle cost S$90. haha... after i converted the online price from USD to SD. Haha... i got it for $75 at DFS 2 years back!
haha... And for the first time i actually get to see Potassium Bititrate crystals. Haha... They usually form in wine as they age. Haha... Usually i dun notice one, just drink only. Anyway dun worry, the crystals are ediable. They are form when the acid in the wine mix with... Ah... dun ask me lah... i'm not a scientist. haha... But the acidity did play a part. haha... i'm not that dumb lah... haha...
Haha... but before that, me and my sister have a few problems. haha... Biggest problem of all, we dunnoe where mummy left the wine glasses. She have packed them away after the last spring cleaning. Anyway, we dun have icewine glasses lah... haha... so have to go get... clever people will know different glasses are for different wine. haha... So while out with her friends my sis went to pick up a few glasses while i got the simplest job of all... put the wine into the chiller! haha... Ice wine serving temperature is 5 to 8 degree celcius.
Then problem No. #2, i only knew when she got back. The cheapest ice wine glasses cost $20 each! Wah... So we got to make do with normal white wine glasses which are cheaper at $10 each... Haha... Anyway i'm not so bad lah, i offer to split the cost for the wine glasses. Anyway the wine was bought with my own army allowance back then! :( haha... But it's ok lah... best things are meant to be enjoyed with the family!
Ha ha... and mummy came home at 11pm, just in time for the wine "opening ceremony"! haha... So everyone got to enjoy the good stuff... haha...

The Shopping Bag! hee...

The wine glasses!

Me with the difficult job of safely removing the icewine from the fridge. haha...

Oh... and the Icewine comes in a nice slender bottle and a gift box! haha...

Tadaaaaaa... Close up view!

Opening ceremony! hahaha....

It's opened! haha... Time to serve! Anyway the VQA label on the bottle neck is the quality assurance for the Canadian ice wine. Ensures that all processes are made with natural method. Haha... Make sure no one cheat by putting the grapes in the freezer. haha...

Road trip to heaven! haha...

Hee... my sister in her pajamas. Haha... think she's gonna kill me if she sees this picture. haha...

Me and my sister... haha... mummy refuses to take picture coz she is also in her pajamas liao... hahaha...
Anyway Poor Ah Bee "the-so-called-miss-ah-lian" has got chicken pox... Poor thing... Day 3 liao. Wish her a quick recovery so she can go watch her movie, sun-tanning and her never ending list... haha... Ah... Forget about the suntanning thing lah... Chicken pox better to keep clean & dry for at least a month. And keep away from the sun to avoid leaving any marks. haha... So wish u a speedy recovery and we'll see u soon! : )
