We had such a great time participating in the Sunnyslope Wine Trail Festival this year. It was held in the new Indian Creek Plaza in Caldwell. We really enjoyed the extra space and thought it was a fun event. The Idaho Press was there and posted a great article about the Festival and the growing (pun intended) Idaho wine industry. Our very own Beverly Williamson was quoted several times in the article! Click here for the full article.
For the month of July, we are offering our guests a way to contribute to Alzheimer’s Association to help them further their hard work in research, prevention and care in the struggle against this horrible disease.
Like so many today the Williamson family has experienced the difficulty of caring for a loved one diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Our family feels strongly about helping those with this horrendous disease and their families. Help us help Alzheimer’s Association in their mission to eliminate Alzheimer’s disease through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health. Receive an additional wine sample with a donation of $1 or more. 100% of your donation goes to Alzheimer’s Association.
This Cabernet has a deep burgundy color and complex flavors of ripe fruit and oak that should age very well. Flavors of ripe cherries and amaretto are held together with a thread of creamy vanilla. Intoxicating aromas of baked cherries and toasted oak make this wine entirely too easy to enjoy.
We recommend serving this with pepper-grilled steak, garlic & rosemary roasted potatoes, braised pork shank, or wild game. For dessert, dark chocolate or bleu cheese complement this wine.
Savor Idaho was a great success, it seems to sell out earlier every year. We always have fun and enjoyed our experience this year too. We were pouring our Harvest Moon Red, Dry Riesling and Dry Rosé. The Boise Weekly was there and they loved our Harvest Moon Red! Click the link for their full article.
The Pollinators Thank You!
We started out the month of March by asking our guests if they would help us help the pollinators. Our family farm has been working in the Sunnyslope area for four generations. We know how important pollinators of every kind are, not just for our crops, but for all plant life. We are happy and proud to announce that with your help, we have raised $106.00 dollars to donate to Pollinator Partnership. In addition to scientific research, the Pollinator Partnership also educates people in how to conserve and support pollinators. These donations came mostly in the form of $1.00 increments, so that tells us that many of our guests care for the pollinators and the ecosystems that they require to flourish.
If you would like further information about this important cause, we’ve added links for National Pollinator Week, Ecoregional Planting Guides, and NAPPC (North American Pollinator Protection Campaign), as well as to Pollinator Partnership themselves.
The Williamson family has farmed in this valley for 4 generations and have relied on our native pollinators for the health and success of our orchards and vineyards. Help us help Pollinator Partnership in their mission to promote the health of pollinators (not just Honey Bees) through conservation, education and research. 100% of your donation goes to Pollinator Partnership. This promotion lasts until March 31st.
