Coiled Wines

Open: Year-round

Like all good stories, the story behind Coiled Wines is filled with dreams, disappointments, and most of all, a lot of twists in plot. The Snake River Valley, Idaho's first grape-growing AVA, plays the leading role in this drama and I wanted a name that honors the site where my grapes grow.  As its name suggests, The Snake River Valley winds its way through southwestern Idaho creating a topography that is as varied as it is stunning.  This valley is the culmination of volcanic activity and two major floods, creating soils that possess a unique combination of lava rock and lake sediment.  These well-draining soils combined with the dry climate and high elevations result in a distinctive geological site that produces the grapes inspiring the Coiled label.
