If you tend to be among that crowd and venture to, say, Boonville in Oneida County, I&#039;ve got a tip for you: wine ice cream.<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>It took two years of experimentation, but &lt;a href=&quot;http:\/\/www.mercersdairy.com&quot;&gt;Mercer&#039;s Dairy&lt;\/a&gt; has created Ala Port Wine, Peachy White Zinfandel and Red Raspberry Chardonnay ice cream flavors. Cool stuff, and already being purchased by trendy New York City restaurants.<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>This ice cream, by the way, is not kid stuff. It has an alcohol content of 5% and will not be sold to minors.<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>Factoid: Mercer&#039;s, which makes about 40 other flavors, purchases a lot of its milk from various New York state prisons that maintain dairy herds.<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>&lt;a href=&quot;http:\/\/bp3.blogger.com\/_idlYwkc9AhE\/RgbgopR9WXI\/AAAAAAAAA1s\/3OuhpMEhuKk\/s1600-h\/Picture+2.png&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http:\/\/bp3.blogger.com\/_idlYwkc9AhE\/RgbgopR9WXI\/AAAAAAAAA1s\/3OuhpMEhuKk\/s320\/Picture+2.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5045967421395786098&quot; \/&gt;&lt;\/a&gt;<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>Connect with Bill Dowd&#039;s food, drink and destinations blogs via the &lt;a href=&quot;http:\/\/dowdsguides.com&quot;&gt;Dowd&#039;s Guides&lt;\/a&gt; portal.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Upstate ice cream maker has combined two tantalizing treats into one wild new product&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":138,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2585","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\r\n<title>What next, wine in a cone?
