IRW '06 Sauvignon Blanc Wine Press Northwest Wine of the Week!Date: November 10, 2008Wine Press Northwest named IRW '06 Sauvignon Blanc as their wine pick of the week.

Come and be the first to enjoy this fantastic wine March 21, 2009. See details under our Events page. Icicle Ridge Winery 2006 Sauvignon Blanc Appellation: Washington Don Wood is the winemaker behind this up-and-coming operation in the north-central Washington town of Peshastin. This is a gorgeous Sauv Blanc with aromas of apples and Bit-O-Honey candy. On the palate, this provides clean, bright flavors of pears, mangoes and passionfruit. Rated "Outstanding" by Wine Press Northwest magazine. Price: $23. Cases produced: 300. Food matches: This wine cries out for seared scallops or pasta in a cream or clam sauce. Also enjoy with grilled halibut topped with a mango salsa. See Kristin Run!Date: October 26, 2008Did you know that we have our very own Marathon Runner at IRW?

"Don't Miss Icicle Ridge Winery!" - Spokesman ReviewDate: October 1, 2008In a recent article in the Spokesman Review, "A Taste of Germany at Leavenworth Oktoberfest", Kirsten Harrington describes Leavenworth as "...picturesque town less than 200 miles from Spokane, you can almost imagine that you really are in southern Germany as you listen to the accordion player in the town square, enjoy a grilled sausage in the beer garden and sample cheeses and chocolates in the local boutiques." "Pick up a wine tasting map at the Visitor’s Information office and explore more than a dozen tasting rooms and local wineries. The long, sunny days of summer are perfect for wine grapes, and the below freezing temperatures in the fall allow several local vintners to produce a rich, sweet ice wine. Don’t miss Icicle Ridge Winery." Thanks Kirsten, we agree!

Don Wood is the Winemaker behind this up-and-coming operation in the North Central Washington town of Peshastin. This is a gorgeous Sauv Blanc with aromas of apples and Bit-O-Honey candy. On the palate, this provides clean, bright flavors of pears, mango and passion fruit." 2007 Three Blondes Gewurztraminer "Outstanding! This small winery in Peshastin has been on a roll the past couple of years, producing one great wine after another. This classic Gerwurztraminer opens with aromas of sweet lemons, orange oil and lychee, followed by off-dry flavors of lemons, oranges, peaches in cream and orchard fruit. It has a beautiful mouth feel through the impressive finish." 2007 Pinot Noir Ice Wine "Recommended. This is a rare dessert wine for Washington, which does not have a lot of Pinot Noir planted, much less left out to freeze on the vine. This opens with aromas of honey, apricots and apple cider, followed by flavors of baked apricots and brown sugar. It is a delicious wine that will serve as its own dessert." 2006 Cabernet Franc "Recommended. Winemaker Don Wood has crafted a delicious Cab Franc. It opens with aromas of red currants, fresh-roasted coffee and green peppercorns, followed by flavors of red cherries, cranberries and sweet spices. Herbal undertones offer underlying complexity."
