Wine Recommendation: Tassel Ridge La Crescent or Tassel Ridge Iowa Prairie Snow ®
Bob Wersen, owner of Tassel Ridge, wanted to pick a wine or two that would complement the dessert without clashing with it. He offers two possibilities: La Crescent offers some sweetness and is a refreshing, semi-sweet white wine with tropical fruit, peach, pear, and grapefruit on the nose and tropical fruit, peach, and citrus on the palate. This wine is made from grapes grown in our Mahaska County, Iowa, vineyards. Iowa Prairie Snow is a sweet, iced wine. It has notes of apple, pear, and nectarine on the nose and honey, apple, pear, and peach on the palate. Made from grapes picked at the peak of perfection and frozen after harvest, Iowa Prairie Snow is best sipped as dessert or with apple or lemon desserts.
