"Idaho
The state’s latest AVA, Lewis-Clark Valley, was approved in early 2016 and borders eastern Washington, who will share the designation. Grapevines were planted there in the mid-nineteenth century, but were felled by Prohibition and not revived until the 1970s. But the comeback has held a steady if contained pace. Today, there are 1,200 acres of vineyard — auspiciously, not enough to satisfy a growing thirst for Idaho wines — in which cold winters, cool nights, warm days in the summer fruiting season, and plenty of sunshine could help this Pacific Northwest state’s reputation catch up to that of its two better-known neighbors...."READ MORE HERE

The guys over at Great Northwest Wines get to taste a lot of amazing wines from all over the Northwest and beyond! So whenever they give us a write up, we are extremely thankful and flattered. They recently reviewed our 2013 Mourvedre as a very interesting but little known varietal in the Northwest.

In fact, our research shows that the Northwest is home to more than 100 red and white wine grapes — from Albariño to Zweigelt. Many are names you might not have heard of, including Sagrantino (a sturdy Italian grape), Golubok (a red Russian variety) and Black Hamburg (also known as Black Muscat).

We are always on the hunt for interesting varietals to work with and have added Counnoise, Marsanne, Grenache Blanc, and hopefully some Nebiolo soon! Here’s what they have to say about our Mourvedre:Telaya Wine Co. 2013 Mourvèdre, Snake River Valley, $35: Owners Earl and Carrie Sullivan crafted this dark, intense wine that offers hints of white pepper, blackberries and almost jammy black currants in its aromas, then blackberries, black currants and minerality in its full-bodied finish. Its tannins linger in the background, then take a brief bow at the end. (14 percent alcohol)

We are excited to participate in the Idaho Wine Run this year, but had no idea the following it has already drummed up! It was just ranked in Runner’s World Magazine as one of the top ten wine runs in the world! We might have even missed the news if it wasn’t thanks to 103.5 Kiss FM. They saw it and made sure to share it on their website and give a nice recap of why you should participate in it too!

Runner’s World Magazine just published an article titled “Bucket List: 10 Races For Wine Lovers.”  According to the magazine, most wine races have been inspired by France’s Marathon du Medoc where runners can grab a taste of vino at almost every mile throughout the race.  Most wine runs attract costumes, good times and of course an abundant number of free samples after the races.

Come out this year for the new course, and lots of great Idaho Wine!

We had a lovely visit with Mattie Bamman when he was in town. A wine writer based in the northwest he always is trying to find fun and interesting wineries and great wines to write about. Last time he visited he focused on the Boise urban wineries and we were lucky enough to host him; we connected with him over the wines but also over the importance of “aha” moments with wine.
Telaya winemaker Earl Sullivan is well-versed in “Aha!” moments. “The greatest goal for me is for someone to have that ‘Aha!’ wine moment with one of our wines,” he says. Perhaps you’ll have yours on the patio overlooking the river while sipping his chardonnay, made in both the subdued French Chablis and ripe Californian styles (a compromise between he and his wife Carrie’s palates). At 3,500 cases a year, Telaya makes most of its wines using Idaho fruit, but its cabernet sauvignon always features Washington grapes, letting you compare Idaho and Washington terroirs.
Check out the other stops he suggests making in the Boise area for great “aha” wine moments by reading the full article here.
