Savor
Idaho 2017: Idaho's Premier Wine Event
We
were happy to attend the Ninth Annual Savor Idaho which was
once again Sold Out at the Idaho Botanical Garden in Boise.
It was a cloudy and cool June day which made it perfect for
this outdoor tasting event. There was some tasty local cuisine,
select Idaho Wines as well as coffee, ciders and Craft Beer.

We
made the rounds and did taste and enjoy a variety of Idaho Wines.
Our favorite this year was the Snake River Wines 2014 Arena
Valley Orange Muscat which was a perfect afternoon wine. A close
second was the refreshing Scoria Snake River Valley Chardonnay
followed by the Syringa 2016 Albarino We also enjoyed the Fujishin
Family Cellars 2016 Viognier and the 3 Horse Ranch 2016 Pinot
Gris. There were alternative beverages as well including Grand
Teton Brewery IPA Beer for those who wanted something other
than wine.

The
cuisine was very tasty this year. Our favorite was the Kanak
Attack Korean Beef Tacos. Desserts were fabulous as Farr's Famous
Wild Huckleberry Ice Cream, Chocolate Bacon Potato Chips and
Amaru Confections Bite sized and gluten free desserts were plentiful.

Savor
Idaho continues to evolve and get better! Paint n Sip was again
a welcome addition which gave attendees a creative outlet while
they were at this event. We chatted with the folks from the
Playhouse Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre www.PlayhouseBoise.com
and look forward to attending soon. We appreciated that
the Boise Co-op was there so you could buy and take home the
wines that you tasted and enjoyed. We had a terrific time with
our friends and other wine lovers and look forward to tasting
new vintages of Idaho Wines next year! Also remember to enjoy
wine tasting and events which are close by along the Sunnyslope
Wine Trail, as well as other tasting rooms around Idaho. Also
check out Savor Idaho North on August 10, 2017 in Coeur D'Alene
