Boise suburb Garden City blossoms as setting for Northwest wine

November 7, 2023 by Jim Thomssen 1 Comment

GARDEN CITY, Idaho — Take a look at a map of the Snake River Valley in Idaho and you’ll see five cities creeping closer together, a reflection of the fastest-growing state in the country five years straight from 2017 to 2021.

August 15, 2023 by Jim Thomssen Leave a Comment

BOISE, Idaho — Did it make sense to bring Walla Walla wines to Boise for a day in March? From both sides of the border, the answer is yes. Just a four-hour drive from Idaho’s state capital, and even less from the Moscow-Lewiston area, the Walla Walla Valley is one of the first places Gem State wine fans gravitate to when they seek out wine experiences.

Grenache, Veer Wine Project steer toward greatness

June 2, 2023 by Eric Degerman Leave a Comment

CALDWELL, Idaho — Perhaps the most buzz-worthy grape variety in the Pacific Northwest these days is Grenache, and in talented hands, the wines from that juicy red native to the Rhône Valley go beyond great. Last fall, a 2018 Grenache grown in the eastern end of the Columbia Gorge for Mount Hood Winery finished as the No. 1 wine of the 23rd annual Platinum Awards, a Great … [Read more...] about Grenache, Veer Wine Project steer toward greatness
