Savor Idaho was a great success, it seems to sell out earlier every year. We always have fun and enjoyed our experience this year too. We were pouring our Harvest Moon Red, Dry Riesling and Dry Rosé. The Boise Weekly was there and they loved our Harvest Moon Red! Click the link for their full article.
The Pollinators Thank You!
We started out the month of March by asking our guests if they would help us help the pollinators. Our family farm has been working in the Sunnyslope area for four generations. We know how important pollinators of every kind are, not just for our crops, but for all plant life. We are happy and proud to announce that with your help, we have raised $106.00 dollars to donate to Pollinator Partnership. In addition to scientific research, the Pollinator Partnership also educates people in how to conserve and support pollinators. These donations came mostly in the form of $1.00 increments, so that tells us that many of our guests care for the pollinators and the ecosystems that they require to flourish.
If you would like further information about this important cause, we’ve added links for National Pollinator Week, Ecoregional Planting Guides, and NAPPC (North American Pollinator Protection Campaign), as well as to Pollinator Partnership themselves.

Pairing wine with turkey is a breeze. But finding one that also works with the myriad side dishes that crowd a typical Thanksgiving table can be a head-scratcher. You need something that’ll compliment the herbed stuffing without clashing with the marshmallow-topped sweet potatoes, something that’ll stand up to the tart cranberry sauce while cutting through the creamy green bean casserole.
For maximum Thanksgiving pair-ability, experts recommend fruit-forward, low tannin wines with a fair amount of acidity. Which is good news, if you’re looking to drink local this Turkey Day. Idaho wineries have a range of excellent options—from dry rieslings to peppery Rhone-style red blends—that are sure to please those surrounding your Thanksgiving table. The following wines can be purchased from Boise Co-op Wine Shop at the price listed, or direct from the winery’s tasting room.
