| A Message from our Winemaker |
First and foremost, we would like to extend our sincerest congratulations to all of the recent WSU and U of I Graduates! We wish you the best in your future endeavors and we hope you are not still too hungover after your big day! lol
Looking forward to the future… We are working tirelessly to get ready for our Summer Concert Series! That’s right folks, at the moment we have 6 patio concerts planned for this summer including some of your favorite Palouse locals such as Douglas Cameron, Andru Gomez, The Jon & Rand Band, and more. These summer concerts are some of our favorite events we host at the Winery, and we are happy to be bringing them back!
Additionally, we’re gearing up for our Rosé 5K because is a month away (give or take)! June 29th marks the date of the fabled “fitness” and wine celebration here at the winery. Registration is open and includes a tee shirt, commemorative stemless glass (filled with Rosé of course), and an afternoon of fabulous music on the patio. If you can’t make it to the winery in person, feel free to sign up at the link below.
We can’t wait to see you all on the patio this summer!
Cheers,
Patrick R. Merry

Rosé FAQ |
| Why do we call this pink wine ‘rosé’? |
| Rosé is the French word for the color pink, and English-speaking wine regions are historically rather francophilic with their wine vocabulary. |
| Why are rosés different colors? |
| The duration of the grape skins’ contact with the juice during the pressing or fermentation process determines the intensity of color in the resulting wine. The specific shade of pink or orange depends on the variety of grape. Any red grape can be used to make rosé, and since all of those have slightly different color aspects, a rosé of Cabernet Franc will be different than one made of Sangiovese or Pinot Gris or Syrah. Also, over time, the color will lose its intensity as the acidity of the wine lessens. Some old rosés can even end up practically colorless once they fade!
How should rosé be served? Treat rosé like a white wine. Keep it chilled and serve on a hot day! Or on a cold day. Or in the evening. Maybe even in the morning? Check out the full article at this link! Maureen O’Callaghan, Assistant Winemaker |
