Introducing "Journey to Idaho Wine"
I'm writing a book about the emerging wine culture in Idaho and I want to take you on the journey with me.
If you don’t know about what’s happening with Idaho wine and the Snake River Valley AVA, you are not alone! Just like everything else in the Gem State, the emerging viticulture in Idaho is growing by leaps and bounds, and I am lucky enough to be chronicling that growth with my upcoming book on Idaho wine. Thankfully, I won’t be alone as I have a group of friends, neighbors, and wine enthusiasts who will be joining me on this journey, and we want you to come with us.
—Not literally, of course, although having you literally come with us would be amazing, but it would cost way more than $5. —
Just like the vineyards themselves, I will be creating a living, breathing journal using audio, video, pictures, and, of course, some written word about my journey to wine appreciation and knowledge. As a “beer guy,” getting into wine is not the easiest thing to do. It’s a whole different world of tastes, varietals, and something called terroir. We’ll be answering questions like why does this wine taste different than this wine, and what makes this wine white and how much should I spend on a nice bottle of wine? This journey will come with all the information, humor, and accessibility you would expect from me but will solely focus on wine.
So, come with me on this journey and learn, with me, about Idaho’s emerging wine culture as I go from vineyard to winery to wine shop to discover why Idaho wine is becoming more popular and recognized throughout the West and what sets our wineries and vineyards apart from other viticulture areas. It’s just $5.
