November 27, 2022 by Great Northwest Wine Leave a Comment

Best Buy! The Campbell family and their longtime associate winemaker, Heather Perkin, began Pike Road Wines as they achieved their long-held dream of turning acclaimed Elk Cove Vineyards into a label that bottled only wines from estate vineyards.

November 15, 2022 by Great Northwest Wine Leave a Comment

Heir apparent Tyler Williams assumed the lead winemaking duties at this three-generation estate winery on Red Mountain in 2019, and the Washington State University product has devoted some precious energy to creating thoughtful, rather than cookie-cutter, white blends.

3100 Cellars 2017 Whitewater Sparkling Wine, Snake River Valley, $36

June 3, 2022 by Great Northwest Wine Leave a Comment

Boise-area winemaker Hailey Minder turned some of Idaho's oldest Chardonnay — Bitner Vineyards — into one of the Pacific Northwest's best interpretations of Champagne. “Whitewater” is the title she and her husband, a former river guide, gave to their blanc de blanc made using traditional methods. It’s an appropriate name, considering the abundant bubbles of its mousse. It opens … [Read more...] about 3100 Cellars 2017 Whitewater Sparkling Wine, Snake River Valley, $36
