SUMMARY:Judgment of Boise
DESCRIPTION:Fifty years ago\, at a blind tasting held to commemorate the United States Bicentennial\, a group of California wines shocked a panel of snobbish French oenophiles by besting French white Burgundies and red Bordeaux. That tasting\, now known as the “Judgment of Paris” and immortalized in the movie Bottle Shock\, is widely regarded as having put Napa Valley “on the map”. \nIn this year of the United States Semiquincentennial\, we invite you to join us for the “Judgment of Boise”. In a blind tasting of six wines\, we’ll determine whether the Idaho wines grown in our backyard can hold their own against standard bearers from around the globe. Put your preconceptions aside and join us for a fun and perhaps eye-opening evening! \nLight cheese and charcuterie will be served to enhance your experience. \nFeatured wines are offered at a 10% discount for attendees (15% for wine club members!).

SUMMARY:An Evening with J. Bookwalter Winery
DESCRIPTION:Join us in welcoming Edward Holmes with J. Bookwalter Winery for an exploration of the stories and wines of behind one of Washington’s most classic producers on Wednesday\, September 23\, 2026.  We’ll taste five wines paired with cheese and charcuterie while learning about this historic winery. \nWHAT IS J. BOOKWALTER WINERY?  \nEstablished in 1983\, this family-owned and operated winery produces world class wines from lower Columbia Valley vineyards established and managed by pioneer Washington viticulturist Jerry Bookwalter from the late 70’s forward. \nJerry’s son John took over operation of the winery in 1997 and ownership in 2008.  His unrelenting focus on quality and exceptional value keeps Bookwalter wines top of mind for critics and consumers alike. \nIn 2021 a new production facility was built on property and the original winery space was incorporated into their award-winning onsite restaurant\, Fiction.  With tasting rooms in both Richland and Woodinville and distribution in 30 states\, Bookwalter’s intention is to continue highlighting the story of superior Washington wine for generations to come. \nWHO IS EDWARD HOLMES?\nBorn and raised in Seattle and currently splitting time between Central WA and Coeur d’Alene\, ID –\nEdward Holmes has spent the last 28 years managing some of the most successful and recognized\nwinery operations in America (Sonoma-Cutrer\, King Estate\, DAOU)\, that experience codified an\nappreciation and understanding of how important quality and authenticity is to building wine brands\nand the culture of wine alike. \nEdward’s passion for wine started in his late teens as he was introduced to winemaking and ethos of the\nindustry through family friend and Washington wine pioneer Paul Thomas. That passion has only grown\,\nand in taking on a managing partner roll with John Bookwalter in 2022 recognizes the long-held dream\nto be an integral part of Washington wine culture. \nHolding his CSW\, CSS\, WSET 2 and 3\, plus a graduate certificate from UC Davis Wine Executive Program\, Edwards commitment to continued learning and expanded appreciation of REAL wine from REAL places is met through daily interaction with the people\, brands and places associated with viticulture. An unremitting interest in all things from the vine\, earth\, sky and kitchen…you can find him in the mountains\, skiing\, bicycling\, on motorcycle or foot usually within sight of a good book and even better bottle of wine. \nLight cheese and charcuterie will be served to enhance your experience. \nFeatured wines are offered at a 10% discount for attendees (15% for wine club members!).

SUMMARY:Pinot Noir From Unexpected Places
DESCRIPTION:Due to its thin skin and fickle nature\, Pinot Noir – the “heartbreak grape” – was long thought to flourish in Burgundy France\, and only in Burgundy France. That paradigm has shifted\, and even the most snobbish of Francophiles now must admit that great Pinot Noir can be cultivated and made in Oregon\, parts of California\, and even New Zealand. But the wine world is a big place\, and enterprising vintners all over the globe are trying their hand at Pinot. \nJoin Wine Guide Jim as we go on a global expedition through five wines to find Pinot Noir in unexpected places. We’ll make stops in South America\, where cool climate Pinots can be found in Chile and Argentina\, in Australia\, where Pinot is thriving in the West (Adelaide) and South (Tasmania)\, and in Europe\, where one can now find beautiful Pinot in Germany and Italy. Let’s find out if it is time for a new region to join the ranks of Pinot Noir royalty! \nLight cheese and charcuterie will be provided to pair with the wines. \nFeatured wines are offered at a 10% discount for attendees (15% for wine club members!).

SUMMARY:Big Boy Italian Reds
DESCRIPTION:Italy produces some of the world’s most distinctive and powerful red wines. Join Wine Guide Mark as we travel from the warm Mediterranean south to the hills of central and northeastern Italy\, exploring how climate\, elevation\, soil\, and indigenous grapes shape a wine’s expression. We’ll also examine winemaking techniques such as extended maceration\, barrel aging\, and the use of dried or partially dried grapes to add concentration\, richness\, and complexity. \nWe’ll compare Italy’s regional traditions with modern winemaking influences\, discuss how these wines evolve with age\, and consider why some are best enjoyed young while others develop for decades. Regional cuisines—including braised meats\, grilled dishes\, aged cheeses\, tomato-based sauces\, cured meats\, and rustic pastas—will help explain why Italian reds come alive at the table. Throughout the tasting\, we’ll compare structure\, acidity\, tannin\, fruit\, and alcohol to see how five regions interpret a “big” red wine. By the end\, the goal is not simply to taste five powerful Italian reds\, but to understand why they taste the way they do and where they belong at the table. \nLight cheese and charcuterie will be provided to pair with the wines. \nFeatured wines are offered at a 10% discount for attendees (15% for wine club members!).
