I was watching a programme a few days ago. Can't remember what it was, but they left ripe grapes on the vine to be attacked by frost. Then they made wine. Potent as hell. Blew your socks off, and cost a small fortune. You only drank it in thimble portions and that was enough.
Think it could have been last week's Bill Nighy trip down Niagara river.
When I was living in France we had to do that a few times, worst I can remember was 2007, late frosts, crappy summer, then a late Indian summer when we wanted the mists for noble rot (Sauternes) Invading Iraq was a lot less stressful.
