June is Idaho wine month which means now, more than ever, it’s a great time to enjoy Idaho wines.

While it can be easy to marginalize local products because of accessibility, the quality and success of our local wine industry should be prized. And, as someone whose job it is to literally taste thousands of wines a year from across the world (it’s a tough job but somebody’s got to do it), I’m confident in the quality of many of our local producers.
