Gosh no... we just slap any label that we think best describes our
customers. I don't buy that commercial crap. I tap my own. Ever heard of
"Ice Wine"?... well I make "Ice Maple Syrup". I usually have about 6 quarts
of it around the house from different farms. We trade off. Some of my
friends make a stronger darker variety by rendering down some make a lighter
variety by the freeze method. Some trees grow in better soil conditions and
provide a unique taste.
