Artisan/History/Story

A winemaker in the Niagara region of Canada decided to try crafting a wine vinegar in the tradition of Ice Wine. Made from sweet Canadian grapes in an honored vineyard, the outcome was sweet and dark, like a raisin. The grapes are harvested at “Minus 8” degrees, in the tradition of famed Canadian Ice Wines with others being harvested at precise times to match the desired outcome. This is a small operation with limited supplies and of course dependent upon the bounty of the harvest each year.

How to Prep/Store

As with all finishing ingredients, store out of direct sunlight. This is a delicious treat for splashing on your grilled vegetables, meats, sliced fresh chilled beets, fruits and just about anything else you care to try. The light and fresh balance of flavors is a complement to a host of dishes.

Tear some fresh greens and lightly toss with GOOD quality oil- such as JLeBlanc or a flavor infused variety like the "O" Meyer lemon olive oil. Top lightly dressed greens with chilled beans, toasted pine nuts and then drizzle with Minus 8 Dehydrate. Season to taste with sea salt and cracked pepper. Makes a wonderful light and refreshing salad.
