114 - Celebrating Idaho Wine Month With Cinder Wines & Holesinski Vineyard + Winery

#HappyFriday! In this episode, Shelley and Phil honor and celebrate Idaho Wine (and Cider) Month one last time…at least for now! Today they’re tasting through a Chardonnay from Cinder Wines and a Buhljolais Rosé of Syrah from Holesinsky Winery. And like the past two episodes, all of these wines are from the Snake River Valley in Southern Idaho. It’s Friday after all! Pull up a chair and pour a glass because it’s time for some very good Idaho Wines! In fact, #ItsWineTime! #Cheersing
