To tantalize the taste buds, our tasting notes: With a rich garnet color in the glass, this wine promises depth and complexity. Bright sweet berries are immediately apparent at first sniff. The aromas evolve from fruit to a charming bramble and minerality. Flavors of dark cherry and marionberry evolve into more earthy tones on the mid-palate. The wine finishes with hints of herbaceousness and firm but supple tannins.

Just because it’s winter it doesn’t mean we don’t work. Patrick and Mike have taken advantage of the good weather this week and started to do some pre-pruning. If you would like to see what’s happening in the vineyard without getting your toes cold, check out Patrick’s video. This wonderful machine does the first rough pruning cut, making it easier and more cost effective for the human pruners to get the fine tuning done.
A tasting by Wine Press Northwest of fortified wines from Washington, Oregon and Idaho was held in Summer of 2020. There were 48 Northwest producers that participated in their first large-scale judging of fortifieds since 2015, and they combined for 67 entries. Our delicious Doce rated well with their “outstanding” designation. We’ve attached their tasting notes and linked here to their full article.
Syrah remains a go-to grape for some of the Northwest’s top producers of fortified wines, and the multi-personality red Rhône grape thrives in Idaho, particularly in the hands of Greg Koenig, who crafted the Williamson family’s wines for nearly two decades. The nose of toffee, Saigon cinnamon, dried cherry and plum moves into darker flavors of cola and pomegranate syrup. There’s a pleasing bit of burn from the alcohol that’s smoothed out by the finish of Choward’s Violet candy and milk chocolate. The family of foodies at Williamson enjoy this with Black Forest Cake, blue cheese or walnuts.
Beverly came up with some great tips and strategies about choosing wine for certain people or special events. There’s also tips on organizing your wine rack and storing wine.

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.
