Idaho’s wine industry in flourishing. Nothing illustrates that better than the state’s annual Thanksgiving wine tastings.  Some 16 southern Idaho wineries will open their doors, pop corks and tap barrels over the holiday weekend.  Below is a list of participating wineries courtesy of the Idaho Grape Growers and Wine Producers Commission.

And for more information on Idaho’s wine industry, check out last fall’s Edible Idaho on the Urban Winemakers Cooperative.
