Favorite Wine: Me - Meritage / Wife - Reserve Merlot

It's your wife's 60th birthday and you have been driving all day long headed back to the east coast, ~ obviously you better come up with something. Late in the evening as we approached Glenns Ferry, ID, I see a sign that states winery and restaurant and golf and RV park, and it looks like I might be saved. But in my head was the continuous wine thought, "remember, we are in Idaho". Well, my bride of 37 years could not have been more pleased with the wines, meal, peaceful RV park, and as a bonus, a double magnificent rainbow after the evening's dinner. We bought the last case of their Obama 'Yes We Can!'zen red wine (yes, you read that correctly, not zin), plus my wife's birthday selections: Pinot Noir, 2004 King Hill Vineyard Reserve Merlot ($$), Cabernet Franc, and a pretty good Meritage. Nice porch setting for a dinner with LARGE glasses of Cabernet Franc. Can't say we will ever have the opportunity to find this place again, but we left with fond Idaho winery birthday memories.

Favorite Wine: all the whites and red were very pleasing to the palette

I never got to visit the winery but I bottle several bottles when I was out in Idaho hunting in 2003
