You’ll have to come out and take a tour of the whole Sunny Slope. The view from many of our tasting rooms is excellent. The folks are friendly and people on the tour seem to love the wine. Idaho has a lot more to offer than great potatoes. Our winemakers go to great pains to battle the weeds and birds to create great wines. Love the blog. Keep up the good work!

Cheers and Good Cheer

Hi Heather,
Unfortunately, the Cab Franc Ice Wine (273 cases produced) is only sold in the 375ml format. All of their Ice Wines retail for $19.95. If you’re interested customers can call toll free at 877-783-2427 or the tasting room at 208-453-7843 (the web store isn’t setup yet). Cheers!

Are they selling that in a 750ml?

Hi Bailey,
Thank you for stopping by! It’s definitely a great QPR wine and one that is a conversation starter with friends and family. I can’t wait to sample their other ice wines. Cheers!

Hi Bill
Thank you for your readership and kind words! The Inniskillin is unmatched in quality and unfortunately price. A nice splurge every now and then for the “special” occasion. As for the Ste. Chapelle version, for the price, it’s a delicious wine to share with friends and family. I reached out to my contact and will send a follow up email to you and Dezel with her information in case you’re interested. Cheers!

I absolutely LOVE this wine, it was quite enjoyable. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it had the “wow” factor!

Great review too. My first Cabernet Franc Ice Wine and it won’t be my last!

Thanks Brian, I will have to try that wine because if it comes close to the quality delivered in the Inniskillin Cab Franc I’m getting a case. I must thank Bill from Wine for Newbies because he is the one who turned me on to the Inniskillin Cab Franc – “Thanks Bill!” ~ I may be down a few dollars, but the tasting experience was memorable

Hi Dezel,
My apologies, $19.95. I tried to locate online with little success. I “believe” it is only sold at the winery but will follow-up with the winery. Cheers!

This sounds like a great wine. Like Dezel, I really enjoy the Inniskillin Cab Franc ice wine. If this is competitively priced, I may have to hunt for it. Since Ste. Chappelle is owned by a big conglomerate, hopefully they can get the wine into wide distribution.

Being from Indiana, I’m glad I stumbled across this site. Definitely one for the RSS reader.

Sounds very good Brian. One of my top dessert wines is the Cabernet Franc ice wine by Inniskillin; that wine goes for over $70, but worth every drop for a special occasion. What does this wine go for? Nice post, bro.
