Join North Idaho Enological Society at Lake City Center (1916 North Lakewood Drive in Coeur d’Alene) from 5 to 7pm on Friday, October 18, as they help welcome Colleen Berard, Northwest business manager with Ackley Brands. Founded in 2016 when the Ackley family purchased Montinore Estate, a leader in the world of Biodynamic® viticulture and sustainable winemaking (that had been producing wine in Oregon’s Willamette Valley for nearly four decades), Ackley Brands is committed to curating innovation, blending time-honored winemaking and brewing practices with modern creativity.
During the tasting, Colleen will be there to provide insight into the company and walk through a selection of wines from their portfolio. Light appetizers will also be served, and there is always a wine raffle and door prize! The wines will also be available for purchase if you choose, at discounted pricing. The cost is $30 for NIES members and $35 for non-members. To RSVP, visit EventBrite.com.
My name is Jillian, and I have been an editor and writer here in Coeur d’Alene since 2006, during which time I’ve had the opportunity to work for nine publications across North Idaho, into Spokane and as far as Gig Harbor, Washington. I am grateful to have the opportunity to now focus all my attention, energy and passion on my local community, finding and sharing heartfelt stories, spotlighting the incredible people, showcasing local businesses, organizations and nonprofits, and of course highlighting the many wonderful events our area has to offer.
