Each year the New York Ice Wine Festival brings together a select grouping of top regional chefs, restaurants and gourmet food vendors in a tribute to the ice wine varietal that is unique to the geographic region surrounding upstate New York. Varied recipes and food pairings at the event allow visitors to sample the rarified ice wines of a handful of regional vineyards against the some of the area's most inspired flavor combinations.

Among the Karma Sauce-enhanced recipes that will be available at the Ice Wine Festival is a Mushroom Crostini with Chipotle Mustard Sauce. The crostini will be paired with Casa Larga Vineyards Vidal Ice Wine and features the award winning Karma Sauce Company Chipotle Mustard.

'We're delighted to be a participant in this year's Ice Wine Festival, an event that highlights a truly unique type of wine to our area,' says Gene Olczak, founder and president of The Karma Sauce Company. 'Besides supporting the region's other unique tastes, this gives us an opportunity to help local food and wine lovers appreciate some of the bold pairing opportunities available from the Karma family.'
The original line of all-natural KARMA SAUCE products was launched in 2010, followed by Karma Sauce Tomato Kats'up in 2011 and the Karma Sauce whole-grain mustards in January 2012. All Karma Sauce products use all-natural ingredients obtained locally in the upstate New York region, and are produced in small batches to ensure freshness and quality.

Building on its growing foodie fan base, the Karma Sauce line of products was recently recognized as a national taste leader among spicy sauces and condiments in the ZestFest 2012 competition held near Dallas, TX.

Karma Sauce products may be purchased direct online at www.karmasauce.com or from a growing list of select retailers throughout Upstate New York and beyond. To find an up-to-date list of Karma Sauce Company retailers, or for complete product descriptions, visit www.karmasauce.com.
 
About The Karma Sauce Company

Inspired by his locavore friends and neighbors in a close-knit community in Pittsford, NY, Gene Olczak created the first Karma Sauce® recipe as a personal passion in the summer of 2008. Word of mouth acclaim led to an expansion of the line to include four sauces – Good Karma, Bad Karma, Smokey Karma and Curry Karma – each with its own distinctive flavor, each containing only all-natural ingredients, and each manufactured in small batches exclusively by Olczak in Upstate New York.

The company's name and likeness was inspired by a joyfully naughty cairn terrier who joined Olczak's neighborhood family just as the first sauce was being created.
