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.
