Discovering Cardinale

I discovered San Antonio Cardinale the same day I discovered that there is actually a winery located right on the outskirts of downtown Los Angeles. You can read more about the San Antonio Winery here: www.sanantoniowinery.com. San Antonio Cardinale is a sweet red wine, claimed to be "a proprietary blend created by the Riboli family," which owns the San Antonio Winery. This wine is easy on the palate and very delicious slightly chilled. Definitely a dessert wine. Almost tastes like super sweet alcoholic grape juice (description for the lay person, ha). Priced at $6.95 at the winery and online. Have also found it at some Chinese markets in Cerritos and in a wine/beer tasting cellar in Solvang!

If you ever have a chance to visit the winery, I would highly recommend it. They give free tours and wine tastings, and there is also a cafeteria-style restaurant at the winery that's decent. This is the winery that supplies all of the sacramental wines for religious ceremonies to many of the Catholic churches in Los Angeles (not that this fact will matter to any of you, just thought it was interesting).

Speaking of dessert wines, can anyone comment on ice wines?
