February 3 is National Carrot Cake Day! If you don’t have time to bake a carrot cake from scratch, then use a box cake mix. Top the carrot cake with a cream cheese frosting. Try matching the carrot cake with cider, hard cider or even better an ice cider.

Ice ciders primarily are produced in Quebec, Canada where the winters are cold enough to freeze the apples on the trees. A few years ago, while visiting Quebec we came across the unique and delicious ice ciders at La Face Cachée de la Pomme (Domaine Neige), Cidrerie Du Minot and Union Libre.

When traveling to Quebec be sure to look for these very special dessert wines.

Happy National Carrot Day!

Cheers!
