ICE WINES   RED WINES    GIFT IDEAS    WINE CLUB  

Hello /FirstName/,
So why does ice wine make a nice gift? Well, it's relatively rare (only produced in wine regions with cold winters like ours) and it's relatively expensive (since frozen grapes don't have that much juice). Good ice wines, like ours, have a nice balance of acidity and sweetness, along with a delicious set of complex flavors. While mostly considered a dessert wine, ice wines can also complement savory foods such as Peking duck or chicken liver paté. So, well, ice wines are "special"!

Made from grapes already frozen by Mother Nature (learn more here), Johnson Estate's award-winning Vidal Blanc Ice Wine and Chambourcin Ice Wine have been produced at the winery for over twenty years.

With Christmas approaching, we want to make your gifting easier - order two bottles of ice wine and the shipping is on us (use the shipping code of GOODNEIGHBORICE).  Or if you like, fill that six or twelve-bottle box with your other favorite wines and our Good Neighbor Shipping Program will still apply - that means that Johnson Estate pays for the shipping. Remember that we have gift cards to include your preferred message. 

It's best to place orders that you would like shipped for Christmas by December 19th (although some locations in OH, PA, and NY are just one-two day deliveries).

Our very best wishes for the holidays -
Jennifer & Fred Johnson & the team at Johnson Estate

RED WINES FOR YOUR TABLE OR CELLAR
There was indeed frost on the ground here in WNY today. That always makes me think of red wine (or mulled ones!) and food to go with them. Like beef burgundy or Coq au Vin - good dinner choices for cold weather! 

Red wines also make great gifts; and the dry ones can be cellared for future enjoyment. Right now, Jennifer's favorite is our Cabernet Sauvignon; rich but smooth. Our Founders' Red, named for Johnson Estate's forebears, is also a good choice and is a little bit more fruit forward and is a wine that ages well. Order our Freelings Creek Reserve Reds for our cellar or theirs!
