Our aim is to bring wines to the table and into your glass that are alive as the rivers that inspire them, this means we focus on grapes as they are being grown in the vineyard, and then try to keep that varietal, vineyard, and vintage characteristic throughout the process and into the finished product. That being said our wines are quite alive and will continue to change as they age. We keep back some of each production to age sur lees (with the yeast in the bottle) to see how it changes. Someday we're hoping to have a really great party with all that wine…!
There are over 3,100 whitewater river miles in the state of Idaho. We met on the Middle Fork of the Salmon and have made many/most of our important life decisions while enjoying the beauty and life in Idaho's river drainages. Sparkling wine has dynamics to it that reminds us of the dynamic water you find on any river: eddys, rapids, whirlpools, and more. 3100 Cellars is Idaho's first, and only sparkling winery. We use 100% Idaho grapes to make all of our wines, and we believe that the Idaho wine industry can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with any great wine region of the world.
