A Note from Russell
Come taste wine with us! Friday, August 14th from 4-7 Kevin Rogers from TimberRock Winery in Post Falls
will be on hand to share a fantastic selection of his new releases! We’ll be pouring the Carmenere which was super
popular last vintage, and the Malbec, which is a new offering. Meet the wine maker, have him sign
a bottle for you. This will be a special event.
If you haven’t already signed up, there’s still a little bit of room for the Owen Roe and Orin Swift tastings coming up, you can read complete details below. These are both great opportunities to taste wine!
I just tasted some Beer Valley beers, and if you like good American style beer, the big hoppy stuff, the dark malty stuff, or the light but flavorful stuff, you’ll like this line up. On hand are the Pigskin Pale Ale (you need this for any football get together), Leafer Madness, Blag Flag, and Highway to Ale, which is an AC/DC beer. They’re all fantastic, seriously, don’t miss out on these.
This weekend Sarah and I tasted the new releases of Long Shadows Pedestal Merlot and Long Shadows Pirouette, which are both on hand and super fantastic! Pedestal Merlot will always hold a special place in our hearts, it was our only accompaniment on an anniversary. This 2006 vintage is showing incredibly well. For the wine collector, we presently have a 3 year vertical of Long Shadows Sequel Syrah available on the shelf, from 2004-2006. This is one not to miss, there’s only one vertical available!

TimberRock Wine Tasting
with wine maker Kevin Rogers
Start the weekend out right at Enoteca – Fine Wine & Beer!
This Friday from 4-7 Enoteca will be hosting Kevin Rogers, owner and wine maker of TimberRock, a genuine Post Falls winery! We’ll be tasting these wines Saturday from 12-7 as well, which is a great time to come beat the rush!
We want to give you the opportunity to “try before you buy”
so we offer a flight of wine for a low cost.
Taste a flight (2 oz. each of 5 wines) for $10 per flight, and follow up with a glass.
We’ll be opening a few brand new releases from TimberRock, it’s time to come try them! The peppery and luscious Carmenere will be open, the Malbec, the new vintage of Chardonnay, and a few other selections!
Kevin Rogers is the veterinarian at the Post Falls Kootenai Animal Hospital, and he makes wine from Horse Heaven Hills grapes on the Phinney Hill vineyard. This is a piece of dirt that may in time rival the great Champoux Vineyard, which is on the same hill, but perhaps positioned better for sunlight and water drainage. Come learn more about this hand crafted wine and most importantly, TASTE!
Owen Roe Wines Now Available
Sarah Likes the Art and the Wine
I’m an artist always looking for unique and interesting beauty, so when the new deliveries of Owen Roe wines
showed up I was like a kid in a candy shop! I know that you don’t judge a wine by it’s label,
but I still find myself grabbing a bottle with a sweet looking label and putting the money
down for just that one reason. The Sinister Hand (pic) is what grabbed my attention first on a trip
to Seattle a couple years ago,
and of course it’s the popular one that is out of stock at the moment. For the last two years
we’ve bugged people to make it possible to sell these wines in Idaho, and finally it has happened!
Check out the Sharecropper Pinot Noir and Ex Umbris Syrah that are on hand right now, and and David O’Reilly’s second label wines too. Under the Corvidae label you’ll find fantastic labels such as The Rook (Cab/Merlot/Syrah blend) – label based on the classic card game, Mirth (stainless Chardonnay) based on an old thyme nursery rhyme, and The Keeper (Cabernet Franc) based on the Bible book Song of Solomon. Corvidae refers to the bird family that includes crows and ravens. Under the O’Reilly name standard varietals of Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, and Riesling are now in stock, and sport cool Irish wolfhound mugs.
Maybe its my affinity for my people, the Irish, that leads me to like Belfast born David O’Reilly’s wine making, but don’t just take my word for it, these wines are often rated well and well known as crowd pleasers. Maybe it’s the literary connection to Poe in the Corvidae line, maybe it’s just tasty wine.
Russell likes the Sharecropper, Mirth, and O’Reilly Pinot Noir the most, you’ll have to ask him why he likes ‘em. I like the big juicy flavor of The Rook, the refined yet powerful Ex Umbris Syrah, and Corvidae Lenore Syrah the best. Lenore is named after the love interest of Poe’s Raven.
We will be having Lee Anderson of New West, the distributor who brings these in, come pour for a tasting of these wines, but we were so excited we had to share the news right away and give you a chance to come pick them up before that happens.

Orin Swift Ultrapremium Wine Tasting
Lush… consistent… soothing… melodious… rich… lovable…
These are the words that come to my mind when I think of the Orin Swift wines. Since the first drop of Prisoner I have been a Prisoner to it’s flavor and allure. The Mercury Head was the graceful accompanyment to a fine Christmas dinner, really standing out and making a special day even more special. My new favorite is the Saldo Zinfandel, it’s perfect anytime, but especially after a REALLY bad day. It’s just the thing to cheer me up. For the Bordeaux blend drinker, give the Papillon a whirl!
I’m particularly excited that Enoteca is able to offer the full line of Orin Swift wines for this special event!
I have a baby-sitter scheduled to make sure I can come, I wouldn’t miss this for the world!
Come join Russell and I for this truly satisfying event!

is a tasting event you don’t want to miss….and neither do I!
