2019 West Coast Wine Competition

This wine competition was established in 1982 and the West Coast Wine Competition has annually recognized wines produced and bottled in the West. So naturally we were thrilled that the two wines we entered received awards. Our 2016 Malbec received a Double Gold-93pt. and Best of Class, excellent for a first vintage wine. To add to our excitement, we received a Gold-92pt. for our 2017 Dry Riesling. Both of these delicious wines are available in our tasting room.

It’s a good time to be a fan of Idaho wine.

Gem State winemakers produced two best-of-class awards and 11 gold medals at this spring’s international Cascadia Wine Competition in Hood River, Ore. And with spring in full bloom, Treasure Valley residents and tourists alike are making the tasting rounds.

Alas, the proposed weekend lane reductions on Interstate 84 between Nampa and Caldwell for resurfacing work mean it may take wine lovers from the Boise area more time to reach the Sunnyslope Wine District. Both the eastbound and westbound lanes on the stretch between Franklin Boulevard and Franklin Road will be repaved by the Idaho Transportation Department, and the bulk of the work is expected to take place over four weekends. Those dates haven’t been set yet. There will be some additional overnight work on I-84 as well as roadwork on some other southern Idaho routes this summer.
