Real dessert wine

Wine purists, close your eyes. You don't want to read what I am about to tell you.

The Wine Cellar, a gourmet food company is giving new meaning to the idea of dessert wine with its rotating line of wine sorbets. Currently, the company sells three reds (Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel and Pinot Noir), three whites (Champagne, Riesling and Sauterne), plus a blush wine from New York for $6.99 a pint. Fat-free and low in calories, wine sorbets strike me as an elegant, light alternative to regular dessert. If you're interested in trying this wine-turned-dessert, you can pick up a pint at one of 40 gourmet grocery stores in New York and New Jersey.

I did buy a white wine sorbet, from the Garden of Eden,Brooklyn Heights, NY. This was during the heat of the summer, which I did find satisfying, can hit you if you're not used to drinking, and very refreshing. This is great over pitted sliced peaches,soaked with a white or red wine(your preference),put in a freezer, when ready to serve, scoop the wine sorbet over it, yummy!

Okay I thought I would love this sorbet. I bought the champagne and the wine ones. (Whole Foods) It was the worse tasting dessert product I ever had. I love red wines and have had interesting flavored sorbet before, but I can not imagine this doing well.

I think that calling this a "dessert" is a little off track. We had the Cabernet Sauvignon (red) and the Sauterne N.V. (white) with an array of cheeses and they turned out wonderfully. Personally, I don't think these would work out well as just being a dessert, but are great as palate cleansers. They carry the flavors well without that heavy alcohol kick associated with straight-up wine.

I've had a homemade sorbet made with Paul Masson Blush at a reception. It was nice. The comment about it being a better palate cleanser than a dessert sounds right on. I'm in Tennessee so I can't purchase it, but I'd buy it if it ever reached our markets.

I am hoping you need to provide proof of age to buy this. Just what this country needs, another avenue to intoxicate people.

Yes, Michelle. We're all drunkards waiting to get extremely intoxicated off of ice-cream.
I wish spinach had an alcohol content because I would probably start eating ALOT of it... As for now I'll stick to my red meat and this longneck bud that seems to be attached to my palm.

Michelle, You seem to have a really dissmissive attitude towards a substance that has been around since the dawn of recorded history and the millions of people who enjoy an occasional (and responsible) glass of wine or beer.

I just went onto The Wine Cellar's website for more information. I am very curious about the taste. This is something that I have never had before and would love to try it. If anyone knows how to get this product via delivery please let me know. I don't live close to NY or NJ. By the way Michelle (Posting #5).....the website stated that since the sorbet is 5% alcohol a person must be 21 to purchase the product. You were right with what you posted.
