Kim Crawford is excellent at its price point. About $12 at Costco.
The glass is important and totally changes the flavor. I have Reidel. 5 or 6 shapes. Worth the cost.
Damn you guys get booze cheap down there, it's about $20 a bottle up here. Worth it, though.
Definitely re: the glass... When I got to try that ice wine I was going off about, the wine maker also demoed the glass our company had designed specifically for it. We tried the wine first out of a standard wine glass, and it was good, but damn, I'm not the type to BS about this kind of thing, again, I'm definitely not a sommelier or anything, but when he served it in the glass that was designed for it, which distributed the wine on the tongue exactly where the wine maker wanted it to go, it wasn't just noticeable, it was a totally different wine. I can't remember the name of the glass maker that they commissioned to do it, it was someone out of Italy, but the glasses were something crazy like $75 per, or something... But, if I had that kind of throw around money like that, it would be a no brainer, especially when ice wine can run into the hundreds of dollars for a bottle much smaller than a standard 750ml. I think the one I tried was around $175 for a 330ml. Working for that company definitely had some perks. hehe
