Nectar of the Gods
Dessert wine, Pudding wine, stickyâ¦no matter what the moniker, the sweet nectar of the gods have always held a special place at the dinner table (and in our gluttonous hearts). Some may have a penchant for the ancient method of air dried grapes, utilized in Vin Santo and Pedro Ximenez, others preferring the thrilling unpredictability of achieving just the right conditions required to produce German or Canadian Eiswein, and still others are loyal to the ânoblestâ of all sweet wines reached through botrytis (or noble rot), most famously used in Sauternes and Tokaj.
