About Cellar Selections

Cellar Selection is a designation for wines or beers that our tasting panels feel will improve with proper aging in climate-controlled conditions, like a wine cellar or basement. 

In red wines, cellaring will give the wine's initially coarse tannins time to separate and settle, making way for the full potential of its structural elements and flavor to shine. 

In white wines, aging has numerous beneficial effects on sugar and acidity, especially in many substantial dessert and sparkling wines: flavors become more integrated and mineral, nutty, and yeast-driven secondary and tertiary flavors can emerge.

Weis Vineyards 2024 Ice Wine Riesling
97 points
$59
A textbook Riesling ice wine, world class with a seemingly endless finish; this is a serious food wine as a foil for decadent savory food and delivers way above and beyond being simply called a dessert wine.
