It's Finally Here! Episode 001 - Gary & Martha Cunningham of 3 Horse Ranch

Martha & Gary Cunningham of 3 Horse Ranch

It took a while, but the debut episode of A Glass of This is finally here! This first episode features Gary and Martha Cunningham of 3 Horse Ranch Vineyards.

After a brief look at other alcohol-related news, I'll sit down with Gary and Martha to talk about what made them decide to take the leap into wine making and how they came to choose the Eagle foothills as the place to grow their grapes and produce their wines. We'll also talk about the need for more investment in the agricultural side of grape production, as well as an unusual grape growing method 3 Horse Ranch is using.

From there, we'll discuss Martha's efforts to get recognition of the Eagle Foothills as a unique wine producing area and the potential for growth. We'll talk about the role of the new Eagle Foothills Grape Growers Association in all of this.

Ready for harvest

Martha and Gary talk about the potential for turning the Eagle Foothills and the Eagle area into a wine tourism destination. And they'll offer some advice to those who mistakenly believe Idaho cannot produce quality red wines.

Gary talks about the winery's partnership with Greg Koenig, the winery's most popular wines, and why he and Martha believe their use of terracing will lead to Idaho's first quality Pinot Noir. Finally, Gary talks about his hopes for this year's harvest.
