We recommend coming 5-10 minutes before your reservation to place your pizza order.
Please, no outside food or drink during this event, or will be charged a $20 “foodage fee” ($20 will go directly to the Off The Grid Pizza).
Thank you for supporting Idaho’s small-family businesses.
2018 Barbera
Doc Ollie Block – Snake River Valley, Idaho
Doc Ollie planted 300 vines of Barbera between 2012 – 2014.
No Mechanism. No Round-Up.
Each vine was cared for by Ollie, who genuinely loved the earth and beauty of Idaho. He aimed to harvest each grape as natural and unique as the Sunnyslope region, backdropped by the untouched beauty of the Owyhee Mountains. Barbera is a unique grape to Idaho that we are blessed to share with you.
This Barbera showcases the distinct terroir of the sundrenched Snake River Valley with aromas of boysenberry and underlying notes of lavender. The fruit-forward expression, subtle and well-integrated flavors of raspberry, pomegranate, dried herbs, and sage. The finish lingers, leaving you with a deep sense of place - the bliss of Idaho’s high desert region.
