aybe you’re traditional — red wine with beef, white with fish — or maybe you’re adventurous. For you, wine can be socializing, serious study or something you’ve meant to explore, but haven’t. Whatever your interest and experience with wine, Coeur d’Alene has options. Benefit from Coeur d’Alene Resort sommelier Trevor Treller’s experience at SIP OF BEVERLY’S WINE CLASS the first Saturday of every month, but don’t worry; there’s no test. “If you care to listen to the instructor and ask questions, that is wonderful,” says Treller. “If you’d rather drink wine and socialize with friends, well, that often happens too.” Expect 2-ounce pours from between seven to nine wines and corresponding appetizer sometimes organized around a theme, such as Australia (served with kangaroo meat pie). Tickets $29, ages 21-and-over; 3 pm. Call 208-765-4000 for reservations.
For a more localized experience, check out CASTAWAY CELLARS’ in the Resort Plaza shops. Since 2002, CDA CELLARS has consistently impressed and continually expanded its offerings, including winemaking classes, paint night and even small theatrical productions. Speaking of paint night, just about any night of the week offers a place to express yourself and have an adult beverage — wine, of course, but also beer, cider and non-alcoholic drinks available for purchase. Check out PINOT’S PALETTE in midtown or THE PAINT BUZZ in Riverstone to select the painting and timeframe that works best for you. And if your idea of the perfect wine pairing is you and your wine bottle in the comfort of your own home, try these places: THE CORK AND TAP beer and wine shop and CULINARY STONE, a gourmet and specialty shop, both in Riverstone. Uptown, try THE DINNER PARTY.
