The “Odessey” of Periple Wines

Angie Riff describes herself as the “chief cook and bottle washer” of Periple (PAIR-e-plah) Wines, whose French name translates as “odessey”.

While Angie’s journey may not be as labyrinthine as her winery’s label suggests, it certainly has been an interesting one.  Born in Boise, Angie learned the craft of wine making in Caliifornia, primarily in the Golden State’s Russian River AVA.  When she and her family decided to return to Idaho, she set up a winery in Garden City and brought her Russian River pinot and chardonnay grapes with her.

In this Idaho Vines episode, we’ll learn more about the odessey of a winemaking daughter of the Gem State, and her plans to begin producing Snake River AVA vintages from a small winery that sells primarily through a mailing list; but if you’re planning to attend Savor Idaho on June 13, you’re already an insider when it comes to sampling what Angie Riff came back to Idaho to accomplish.
