More awesome news! We have won our very first Gold Medal! We are very proud to announce that our 2009 Syrah has been awarded a Gold Medal and our 2011 Viognier a Silver Medal at the Great Northwest Wine Competition. With over 800 entries in its inaugural year, the competition was stiff and we were thrilled to be recognized with honors.
We are thrilled to announce that our 2010 Cabernet has won a Silver Medal at the Dallas Morning News/Texsom Wine Competition. This is one of the most prestigious wine competitions in the nation and we are proud that one of our wines was recognized with honors.T

We wanted to update you on the local stores that have added Telaya wine to their wine programs. We are proud to announce that we have been added to the selection at the Boise Co-op Wine Shop. Please also visit Erickson’s Fine Wine in Eagle, Grape Escape on 8th in downtown Boise, A New Vintage Wine Shop in Meridian and Buzz Coffee and Cafe on State Street. And of course, Telaya wines are always available at our tasting room on 44th Street in Garden City.
We appreciate all of the local support!
More wine is coming! We have begun to pour our 2009 Syrah and 2011 Viognier in the tasting room and at wine events – and are very excited for you to try them! Our 2009 Cabernet (for wine club members only), 2010 Syrah and 2010 Cabernet are still settling into their bottles and not quite ready for their debut. We will keep you updated to their release.
Our 2009 Turas, 2009 Syrah and 2011 Viognier can now be purchased at Yokes in Sandpoint. If you are in the area, go see Jason in the Yokes Wine Store – he really knows his wines and is a very nice guy to boot. Thanks Yokes!
Thanks Grape Escape for your support and promotion of our wines. We look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with you!
Telaya is proud and honored to announce that our 2009 Turas has won a silver medal at the Sunset Magazine International Wine Competition. Earl and I are very excited that our wine stood strong when compared to the other 2,836 entries. Here is a little bit about the Sunset Competition:
Sunset’s readers love wine, and are 362% more likely to drink wine
weekly—or more often—than the average U.S. consumer. We are
thrilled to create a program that will help our readers discover the
best wines from around the world to fit their casual, adventurous
lifestyle.
Given Sunset’s credibility, reach, and influence—and the highly talented team we have
assembled to manage this competition—the Sunset International Wine Competition has
the potential to be the most important competition in the country.
Look for Telaya to be listed along with the other winners in the November 2012 issue of Sunset Magazine!
Thank you to Bob Young of the Boise Foodie Guild Blog for mentioning Telaya in his blog of the Buzz Coffee and Wine Bar Third Quarter Dinner. We appreciate your kind words and Earl enjoyed meeting you at the event. To take a look at Bob’s blog and learn the latest on Boise’s everchanging food and wine scene, click here.
