on the friday evening news (global okanagan) they did a story about a winery in peachland and were 'showing off' some of the really expensive ice wines ($9800/bottle, $7900/bottle).
well, guess what winery got broken into early sunday morning?? ...and guess what was stolen...
Quote:
Sunday morning, thieves made off with roughly $30,000 worth of their product, including a 1983 and 1984 Riesling ice wine worth approximately $9,800 and $7,900 respectively.
Huber’s winery was featured in a Global Okanagan story about ice wines on Friday. While we can’t be certain there’s a connection, Huber says many of the wines featured in the story were targeted by the thieves.

Quote:
He believes the one product they were after was a 1978 Riesling, an extremely rare wine, one that has the title of first commercial ice-wine produced in North America. He’s appraised it at $1 million a bottle.
“They looked for the ’78 ice wine but they couldn’t find it in the safe,” said Huber.
