(2018) The Snake River Valley is producing some really fine grapes, and this week on the show, we meet one of the families turning those grapes into fine wine! We're on location in Idaho to visit with the crew from Cinder Wines of Garden City.
Then, we meet the "bros" from Central Washington who have turned theor town upside down with some really good craft brewing. You'll enjoy the story of how Iron Horse Brewery has grown so much, putting Ellensburg on the brewery map!

The "Wine Moms" will have a wine recommendation, and Idaho Wine presents "Bites and Bottles," a fun food pairing with wine, craft beer, and spirits featuring Chef Kathy Casey.
(2018) Nothing beats good, locally made beer and a great story! This week, you get both as we share the history and art that inspired the beer AND the name of Wingman Brewers in Tacoma.
We also meet the wine maker behind the Alder Ridge Cellars label. His work in Prosser includes work on another label, so we ask about what it takes to ensure each one of his wines gets enough attention.

(2018) There are matches made in heaven, and then there are matches made in a wine barrel.
Such is the case with the couple behind Washington's Barrage Cellars. They share their story of balance life, love, and grapes as we get a taste of the bold fruits of their labor. Then, we visit with the brothers who are bottling over at Sun Liquor Distillery. Their passion for making spirits is clear!
