I know this is supposed to be a wine blog so that also means a blog for the senses.
And speaking of senses, I enjoyed the most sensual ice cream on New Year's Eve -
Lavender ice cream from
Mashti Malone. Even cold it offered the scent of lavendar before the creamy dessert touched my lips. One teaspoon satisfied me, it was so full-bodied.
They make very unique ice creams and sorbets - from roses, saffron, pomegranates - sold at Whole Foods and other gourmet and healthy food shops.
Now to see which wine complements this, though the ice cream itself was intoxicating. A delicious treat to eat.
