Raven's Glenn Ice Wine
The ice wine harvest has begun at Raven's Glenn Winery in West Lafayette, Ohio. While most other harvest have wrapped up, temperatures need to drop into the single digits in order for the Vidal Blanc grapes to freeze and for the sugars to concentrate in order to produce this delicious dessert wine.

From the Coshocton Tribune:
Compared to last year's crop, this year is "an exceptional year" because this past fall was relatively dry.

"Last year, we lost an entire crop," [owner Bob Guilliams] said. "The risk is, the longer I wait into winter, the more dehydration takes place, but if it warms up and the temperature raises the grapes will have thawed out and will be subject to rotting."
A bottle of Raven's Glenn Ice Wine retails for $29.99. The winery has several other varietals available including fruit wines, a dessert wine made from the Muscat Canelli grape, a Merlot, a Chardonnay, and others. Raven's Glenn is owned by the husband and wife team of Robert and Renee Guilliams, and there is also a restaurant at the winery.
