While I'm not familiar with the ice wines from BC, I love Niagara ice wines, although I find Inniskillin to be vastly overrated. It is certainly the most well known, but by no means the best IMO. My favorite so far is the Reisling Ice Wine from Thirty Bench. Whereas I think Inniskillin needs more acid to balance the sweetness, Thirty Bench is very well balanced.

We drank 2000 Paradise Ranch Okanagan Merlot Icewine yesterday.

www.icewine.com

Very good it was too. Enough acidity to avoid being cloying, like some are.

Being Merlot it was pinkish, but not at all like port. Very fruity - berries

It stood up remarkably well to the molten chocalte fondant, but would have been even greater with a fruit based desert. Nice with the Stilton that followed.
