Late last week we took at look at some sinfully delicious sounding Bourbon Ice Cream and a number of you weighed in with recipe ideas of your own. Now it seems as though a dairy in New York state has come up with wine-flavored frozen treats.Available in three flavors -- Ala Port Wine, Peachy White Zinfandel and Red Raspberry Chardonnay -- Mercer's Ice Cream in Boonville, NY has been selling the frozen confection to restaurants in New York City and a marketing consultant for the company believes that the product could soon reach national appeal. The three new flavors join Mercer's already-existing line-up of 36 varieties.
These sumptuous treats aren't for children though, each pint contains the equivalent of one glass of wine.

I tried all three of the Mercer's Dairy wine ice creams last week, but have been too sick with the flu to write about them. I will do an in-depth review here some time soon.

We have a place in austin called Amy's Ice Cream that serves beer flavored ice cream and for St. Patty's Day had a Guiness flavored ice cream. I tried both out of curiosity and have to admit that both were pretty good.

I am in Calif. also. Being related to a wine family (Ferrari-Carano), it would be very interesting and can't wait to taste them.

Jake's Ice Creams & Sorbets in Atlanta has Bourbon Raisin, Delta's Delight with Amarula, Strawberry Mimosa and Margarita Sorbet. All the alcohol has been denatured, but you would never know from the taste. Lordy they're good!

I've made all kinds of sorbet from alcoholic beverages. (I can't eat ice cream cuz I'm lactose intolerant.) I used the liquor to make the sugar syrup, which means that the alcohol is cooked out, leaving only the taste. It's the same kind of thing that happens when you make a rum cake or anything else subjected to heat for any length of time.

Alcohol and icecream is not a new invention. Banana's Foster has been around for a long time. I disagree that it will be mass produced anytime in the future. On the off chance that it is, the alcohol content will have been removed just leaving the flavor.

As an alternative:
Put two scoops of vanilla ice cream in a dish. Pour a glass of Port wine. Alternate eating a spoon of ice cream and sipping the Port.
