MEMBER SPOTLIGHT

Ralph & Carol Myers

Carol and Ralph have been wine club members for almost a decade. Back in the day, they had made the trip to visit the Williamson fruit stand to purchase local apricots when they spied the tasting room right next to the packing shed. According to Carol: “Of course we had to go in for a tasting. This is where our love for Williamson wines began. We both favor red wines, but on this occasion, we tasted their Viognier.  We’ve been huge fans ever since and haven’t tasted a Viognier we like better. After the tasting we decided to become wine club members.”

It’s always a treat for us to see the Myer’s come through out door! We know we’ll get to “geek out” with them over food and wine pairings. Ralph and Carol are always up to some new culinary exploration. These culinary hobbyists have experimented with everything from fermentation, beer making, sourdough bread making, to building a pizza oven in their back yard.

We’re always hungry after a hearing about their latest creations! “We often create tasty pasta dishes or crank up the wood fired oven for pizza that all go so well with the Williamson Sangiovese. It’s one of our favorites and when we buy a case, so there’s always some Sangiovese on the list.”  They’ve gone full urban farmer and enjoy, “tending to our large garden, edible landscape plantings and raising sheep and laying hens.” They raise a plethora of goodies, “fresh basil, eggplant, tomatoes, onions, peppers and our grass-fed lamb.” 

“We always enjoy driving out to Williamson Wines to pick up our wine, have a tasting and visit with the wonderful employees and Williamson family members. We look forward to many more memorable occasions where we sit down to share good food and wonderful Williamson Wines! “

We couldn’t have said it any better! Ralph & Carol always remind us to experiment and enjoy the process of making food. Not to mention the importance of celebrating that good food with good wine! Thank you for being such loyal and lovely part of our wine club family!

Cheers!

Wine Club Member Spotlight

Williamson Vineyards is thankful for the loyal support of our wine club! This next year we are going to share a little about a few of our most supportive members. We can’t do what we do without our amazing wine club ambassadors. Cheers!

Two of our most amazing wine club ambassadors ever, are Karen Bowles and Susan Daly! This sweet set of sisters have been members of our wine club for 9-10 years! Karen and Susan host a wine gathering every year, often featuring an Idaho winery. These classy ladies don’t just throw any wine soirée! They turn it into a fun and educational gathering with different themes, where they share some of their favorite wines with their friends.

Susan told us some fun facts: ” I put the wines in groups on my dining room table to include the reds, red blends, dry whites, sweets, verticals. In the middle of the table I made a copy of the importance of the windmill that was on the back of one of your wine labels, I purchased a mini steel windmill, and a copy of the Williamson logo”, “We had 3 vertical tastings. The 2018 and 2019 Riesling. The 2018 and 2019 windmill red. I think, the 3rd vertical was the 2018 and the 2019 Malbec”

These amazing wine club members have obviously been planning this for a while, and we were honored to find out that their latest epic wine party featured all Williamson Vineyards wines!! Thank you Karen and Susan for making Williamson’s wines a part of your annual tradition.

*We would have loved a picture of them together, but one of our ladies was always taking pictures!

Dan and Candi Puga
This cute couple has been in the Sunnyslope area and have known each other since kindergarten! They have raised a beautiful family and are very active in the local community. They have been members at Williamson’s for roughly 10 years!

 How did you find Williamson Orchards & Vineyards? The current Williamson siblings were a few years younger than us in school and we also attended church with the family. One day around our 20th anniversary, we took a drive around Sunnyslope area, and were pleasantly surprised that wineries were popping up all around the area. Going to the wineries has became a weekend date tradition.

Why did you become a member? I’m not exactly sure our joining date, but it was one of our early memberships. The picture (above on left) in front of the old fruitstand shed and tasting room was May of 2015, a beautiful Mother’s Day. We later used that picture for our 25th wedding party invite!

Tell us about some of your experiences at Williamson’s. We appreciate the welcoming service even during the difficult season of covid. To this day, Williamson’s is one of our favorite stops along the Sunnyslope wine trail and we love the new conveniently located tasting room.

What are some of your favorite wines? Williamson’s provides a wide variety of wines that we both enjoy and love. Dan tends to taste the reds and I stick with the rosés or whites. Some of our favorite wines include Sangiovese, Red Blends, Petite Sirah, Dry Riesling, Blossom, and Lilly White.
