The Idaho Wine Commission hosted a Wine Industry Bootcamp on September 24th and 25th. The purpose of the bootcamp was to introduce local wine stewards, restaurant staff, media, and tourism agencies to Idaho wineries and educate them about the Snake River Valley AVA. The bootcamp started bright and early with a stop in our vineyard. We greeted the campers with croissants and a glass of Riesling. After a few moments of introduction, we plunged into the rows of grapes to talk about our growing practices and pick grapes. While Mike and Patrick discussed soils and brix levels, guests got to sip on 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon and the brand new 2016 Malbec. Click here for full article.
