Toronto (ON) — Metropolitan Ice Cream is proud to announce that they are the exclusive manufactures of the unique adult dessert product- “Frozen Vines™”. Rain Enterprises says that by partnering with renowned dessert maker Metropolitan Ice Cream, Frozen Vines™ brings to market an ultra gourmet product that teases your taste sensations!

“It is wonderful how the properties of wine and fine spirits clearly come through in this great new product! We are proud to be partnered with Rain Enterprises on the launch of Frozen Vines™.” states Frank Zuccaro, President of Metropolitan Ice Cream.

“Frozen Vines™ represents the high quality of Grand Marnier standards, from the flavour profile to the pride taken into producing this gourmet ice cream.” Jean Christophe Terzaghi, Executive Director, Canada, of Grand Marnier states.

Lets Talk About... Frozen Vines
What are people saying about the new infused "Frozen Vines" adult dessert?

“Velvet soft texture and superior flavour composition! Just lovely! Lick it! It's worth it!”
Zoltan Szabo, Sommelier


"Zoltan Szabo is the quintessential North American success story: from non-English-speaking busboy to star sommelier in under a decade."
He has done more to raise the profile of the sommelier profession than busloads of stiff, tastevin-toating wine stewards, bringing a fresh, appealing, wholly inclusive approach to sharing his enthusiasm for wine.
Zoltan has been recognized repeatedly by his colleagues, winning Toronto Star sommelier of the year in 2003, top spot at Tony Aspler's Ontario Wine Awards blind tasting competition in 2005 and most recently was named "promoter of the year 2006" for the Ontario Wine Industry during their annual Cuvée gala in recognition of his significant support of local artisans of the grape.
He has appeared in dozens of publications and interviews and has become the poster boy of the modern sommelier: fun, confident, highly knowledgeable and down to earth. He has been dubbed the Clive Owen and the 007 of wine as well as Toronto's sexiest sommelier.
Professionally, Zoltan has created and oversees many award winning wine programs for some of the finest restaurants in Toronto garnering him additional accolades from the local media and the Wine Spectator.
He is a contributing editor for CityBites Magazine, Drinks editor of Asian Gourmet, and contributes tasting notes to a variety of prominent publications and organizations, such as winerytohome.com, Vines Magazine and the Ontario Restaurant News.
These days Zoltan spends the majority of his time as a guest speaker at wine-soaked events, delivers Wine Council of Ontario training seminars and travels the world as an international wine judge.
Otherwise you can often catch him at one of his favorite local haunts enjoying a glass of unusual, cutting edge vino". by John Szabo, MS
Frozen Vines Trio-
a one ounce scoop of three
different flavours in a long thin
serving plate with a simple drizzle-

Restaurants are rotating flavours weekly to keep the offering fresh. An example of this would be Merlot(red), Sauvignon Blanc(white), Grand Marnier Chocolate(brown)…delivering flavour colour and variety.

The restaurant may replace one of the flavours with the Peach Mango to change things up.






Frozen Vines ice cream is infused with
authentic VQA wines. It’s proving a hit in the “adult” dessert market.
(So keep it away from kids.)

Says David Paterson: “Our infusion process
has kept the true flavours of the varietals,
allowing them to clearly come through on
the palate.”
At a recent tasting, chef Howard
Dubrovsky said he will carry the retail line
(coming soon) at his new gourmet boutique
due to open in the spring on Queen Street
West.

On tasting the Cabernet Franc ice
cream, Dubrovsky noted: “It has glutamate,
a sense of umami. You could serve this with
a cheese.” Yep, definitely not for kids.

As seen in Citybites magazine December 2007
