February 10 & 11 - Idaho Makes Wine You Say?!

Friday 5-8 PM, Saturday 4-7 PM

Wine from Idaho?  And it's not made from potatoes? Seriously almost every state in the US makes wine and you know we love to explore here at Long's. If you like Washington State's wine, then you'll love Idaho's. They are close in climate and excel with the same types of grapes. This weekend we'll try two wines from Sawtooth Vineyards - a bright lightly sweet Riesling and a luscious velvety Cabernet blend. On Saturday, we will also get a chance to sip some Peruvian brandy from Pisco Portón. Try it solo or in one of Portón's delightful cocktails. ¡Que DeliciosoCome on in to Long's!

Lightly musty and earthy on the nose over a layer of fermented fruit. On the palate some sweetness and more fruit open up. It has a full and silky mouthfeel, with a soft dry finish. The pisco is rested five to eight months in neutral concrete containers before bottling and has a youthful spirit quality that’s intriguingly rustic. Nice to sip and a great substitute for many vodka or Taquilla based cocktails.

2010 Sawtooth Winery - Sawtooth Riesling

Riesling | Idaho | Snake River Valley | 750ml

Riesling makes especially good wines in Idaho with our combination of long, cool nights, warm days and volcanic soils. A fruit salad of aromas, apricot, peach and pear give way to bright fruit flavors and crisp acidity with a hint of sweetness and a clean finish. An ideal wine as an aperitif or with light cheeses and fruits.

2006 Sawtooth Winery - Skyline Red

A wonderful Idaho red blend opens with blackberry and dusty notes on the nose. Rich plum and cherry fruit is layered with leather and clove. A well-balanced tannin structure leads to lingering fruit on the finish.
