Coeur d’Alene Cellars and Barrel Room No 6

What:
It’s like this – Coeur d’Alene Cellars makes wine. They’re a winery. That’s kind of their thing. But just making great Rhone varietal wines isn’t enough. Being awarded “90 pts” by Wine Enthusiast Magazine in 2005 for their first release wasn’t enough. Earning a Double Gold in the International Eastern Wine Competition in New York and a Best of Show at The Idaho Wine Festival in Boise was still not enough.

Because Coeur d’Alene Cellars doesn’t just want to make and sell you wine. They want you to love wine as much as they do. That’s why they have a wine club  where members can receive three to six bottles a quarter of carefully selected red and white wines, as well as discounts on even more bottles, tours of the winery, and private tasting sessions.

And that’s why they have Barrel Room No 6, a “swanky” wine bar where you can try out they’re wines, paired with appetizers and light snacks, as well as listen to live music on Saturday nights. The staff know which wines work best with each food item on the menu and will happily impart their knowledge to you if you just ask.
