Anyone tried the Fairy Tale by Iron Horse Sparkling Wine? - The DIS Discussion Forums

cbg1027 · 11-21-2009, 05:23 PM

Wondering how it is.....always noticed it on the menus and wanted to try it, but didn't want a whole bottle to myself! I'm going to WDW with a big wine drinker in a few weeks so ordering a bottle is a possibility now. Was it worth the money?

I heard it's very dry! I like sweet myself...my husband and I got a bottle of Magicale (another Disney special wine) and it was delicious! It's a sweeter sparkling wine.

The previous poster is correct in my at least in my opinion it is very dry. I too prefer a sweeter wine, but it was good. Do I think I would get it again? Umm.. Possibly!

I think I would try the PP selection first, though.

We first tried Iron Horse champagne at WDW and have been a fan ever since. It is a very nice wine in the medium price range.

Enjoy!!!

We had the Fairy Tale Cuvee at our wedding and we liked it. Neither DH or I are big drinkers, but we thought this tasted good

cbg1027 · 11-21-2009, 10:56 PM

I prefer the dryer stuff most of time, so good to know!
Thanks for the info everyone.

It's definitely a dry bubbly, but not too yeasty. I absolutely love it.

My DH surprised me with a bottle of this wine for our anniversary in March and it was good, but I too prefer a much sweeter wine. The one the PP mentioned sounds really good, I may have to try that one next time.

Amen sister! We do not like dry ones either but we had the Magicale tonight and it was amazing, better than Rosa Regale

Preferring dry, we enjoy this little sparkler.

And for anyone that may not know - this wine was produced exclusively for Disney by Iron Horse and is available only at DL, WDW, & Disney cruises.

You can't even buy a bottle or a taste of this at the winery.

lovemyzoe · 11-23-2009, 12:35 AM

We had a bottle of this included in a gift basket I ordered from Disney Florist...it was MUCH too dry for either of our tastes, but of course YMMV.

Linda67 · 11-23-2009, 06:42 AM

I love dry sparkling wines so this sounds perfect for me
Can you buy it by the glass in any of the restaurants or just by the bottle?
Do you know which restaurants serve this?

Better than Rosa Regale???? Now you have me interested!!

We had the Iron Horse Fairy Tale Cuvee for our wedding and we liked it well enough, but it wasn't a favorite of mine. I would agree with the previous descriptions of it. Is it worth the money??

That is such an individual assessment, particularly with the upsell on alcohol. Given how unique it is and how its availability is limited, it is arguably worth the experience.

ElizabethB · 11-23-2009, 10:12 AM

Iron Horse Fairy Tale -- We consider it a run-of-the-mill California sparkling wine -- nice but nothing special. We'd always pick a French champagne given a choice.

MEGADAN · 11-23-2009, 11:01 AM

I love Rosa Regale but I am always willing to try new wines. Where can I get Magicale besides the Restaurants. Can I get it in Epcot? If so, which pavilion?
