The Eis King

TASTING NOTES:
“Well balanced dessert wine with hints of peaches, pears and apricots. High acidity balances with the 28% residual sugar to give you an ice wine complete from the beginning through the long lingering finish.” (100% Riesling)

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
Running from 2010 to 2018, the show Adventure Time followed boy adventurer Finn and his adoptive brother Jake the Dog in their strange heroic exploits and journey through life. One of the primary recurring characters is known as the Ice King, an old bearded man with a magic crown and a desire to kidnap princesses. Although he starts off a comedic antagonist, he ends up more of a regular acquaintance and then ally of the heroes as they become aware of his oddly tragic backstory.

DRINK IT FROM (conventional option):
White wine glasses.

OR (really-going-with-the-theme option):
A glass made of ice.
