I find myself wine tasting quite often throughout the year and each time I go I find myself amazed with the images I walk away with. Whether it’s with the super wide angle lens or just with a normal zoom or a prime there always seems to be a pleasant surprise when I get home. I was lucky enough to take part in this years Niagara Icewine Festival in Niagara on the lake, Ontario. This trips surprise were the wine glass images I was able to capture. There just seemed to be more of an assortment of glasses laying about in perfect position for a great “menu/catalog” type of shot as I like to call it. I’m sure you know which I’m speaking of, the ones which you’ll find on a menu at a bar or restaurant of perfectly placed table and silverware. It was the first weekend of the Niagara Icewine festival this weekend and I was able to take advantage of these perfect placements.
This time around I went with a few friends to Peller Estates, Riverview Cellers and Chateau des Charmes. All offered great tasting icewine, Peller offered a marshmallow roast and riverview offered an excellent chocolate fountain. Both were impressive but I’d have to say the Chateau won me over with it’s 2007 Vidal icewine paired with their local vanilla ice cream and peaches. It was just divine and perfectly paired.
