    Situated just about midway between Boise and Twin Falls, just off I-84, is the small community of Hammett. While there isn't much to stop for, I don't even remember seeing a gas station; they do have an outstanding winery, Cold Springs Winery. We were coming back from a trip and had decided we stop at a winery on the way back. The winery is actually down a dirt road a little further up the hill. Plenty of signs point the way so that you won't miss it. But here's a warning, don't use Yelp for directions to the winery. It shows that the winery is in downtown Hammett, while it's really North on the other side of the freeway, a little over 2 miles from downtown. So Yelp strikes again with the wrong location. Our host pouring was Jennifer Reece, one of the owners. We had an enjoyable time sampling the wine and talking to her. Overall I have to say I was impressed by their wines, none of them had the high acid I've encountered with so many other Idaho wines, and when one was on the high side, it was appropriate for that wine. So, all in all, there were no duds in the ten wines we tasted, which frankly surprised me. I highly recommend you stop in and try their wines. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

    We made Cold Springs the last stop in our trip and boy did it not disappoint! We had an absolute blast with the new owners Bud and Jen. They were so amazing and fun. We ordered pizza that was soooo delicious and talked wine with the experts. They had very stylish apparel and their wine hit the spot. We will be making frequent stops at this winery! Thank you both for making this the best part of our trip.

    Had a fantastic time here while visiting the area--even bought a few bottles to bring back to California! Shannon and Jen were great hosts.

    We stayed at the RV park here for 8 days while in town for work. I absolutely loved it!! The sites…read morewere spacious; each one had a nice little yard. 5/5 for the RV park would definitely come back. As far as the winery, the grounds are well kept. The wine was delicious, I would definitely recommend getting the 5 flight sampler. The food was just okay, wouldn't come back for that. The server was very sweet but they seemed busy, took awhile to get the food. Not too big a deal since we got to sip on their delicious wine. I do think it's worth stopping by, perhaps for lunch though.

    Stopped by on a beautiful, but windy Sunday afternoon. There were many enjoying the 9-hole golf…read morecourse. We went in to sample the wines and grab a bite in the restaurant. This is a pretty setting; you drive into the Clubhouse/Restaurant through the vineyards. I was not too impressed with the pruning of the grapes; they did not have adequate shade like I was used to seeing in the Sunnyslope vineyards (seemed overpruned). But maybe it works for them IDK. So we started with a wine flight, 1 oz. in each of five wines. I selected Chardonnay, Reisling, Reserve Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The white wines weren't all that impressive; the Chardonnay was the weakest watery wine I ever remembering tasting. The Riesling wasn't bad but it really lacked in tartaric acid crispness. The Reserve Merlot wasn't bad either but could use more acid as well. I thought he Cabernet Franc was decent; this is a grape that vintners typically make red blends with. The Petit Verdot was OK but it lacked some boldness & tannin that this grape usually provides. Prices were reasonable for a botique winery but I wasn't persuaded to buy any bottles. So on to the meal. I ordered the Steamer Clams in white wine and they tasted very good. I was impressed that the broth was not oversalted and they brought some delicious toast to dip into it. I asked if the raspberry and blueberry cheesecake were NY style and neither our servers or the manager knew what NY style meant so I simply ordered the NY Style Cheesecake to be sure. It was indeed NY style dense and decent but it had some kind of heavy cream layer on top about 3/8" thick. It wasn't bad but it did mask some of the cheesecake rich taste and threw the dessert out of balance IMO. Our server was friendly and fairly attentive but lagged bringing the check when we were finished. It's a fun setting and there is a group dining room. Some rough edges did show through; the manager was obnoxiously loud and the back house ice porter came out in a sleeveless shirt to refill the ice bin (yuk). They do have dinner specials on Saturdays and live music on Friday & Saturday nights so this might be a good time to check them out.

    Where do I start? Well, I'll start by admitting that I am not a cook. I don't really like being in…read morekitchens and my nightmare come true is having to cook a meal from scratch. So when I found myself in a kitchen supply store, I was out of my element. But my mom loves to cook, and I love my mom (especially when she cooks for me!) so I went along willingly. I was innocently browsing around when I stumbled on a doorway to that led me to another section that was much more my speed-the wine store. On that side, I discovered bottles of wine along with a friendly sommelier, Cesar, who was both knowledgable and friendly. He offered a taste test of a few wines, which led me to purchasing a bottle that I might not have otherwise stumbled upon. There was also a wall full of different coffee beans and a grinder so you could prepare your beans just the way you like them. There was also a wall full of different types of oils and vinegars. A lovely young lady assisted us in testing those, too. Everyone we encountered was incredibly friendly and helpful. I saw that they do cooking classes and, for a brief moment, pictured myself wearing an apron learning from these fine folks how to make something exquisite. Who knows? maybe my dream will turn into a nightmare.

    We stumbled up on this place after eating at KOTO brewery and they told us they may have more of…read moretheir beers in cans to take home. As you enter I was in heaven. I love to cook and I enjoy gadgets and fun trinkets for the kitchen. The amount of stuff they had was overwhelming but in an amazing way. They were so organized and had everything you can possibly need for your kitchen. Love that they had everything in sections and some of the prices were a bit high but you know they will last for sure and I don't mind that. They had a small section for sale and they had some fun stuff that's prolly out of season and picked up a few. They have cooking classes & wine tasting as well to pair with food as well. You can actually reserve or just a party and that's super neat. They have e a fresh local cheese section you can purchase as well as an olive oil tasting section with bread as well. Loved that touch. They have local beers that's what we were there for and picked up a few other items as well and you can make your own 4 pack or 6 pack of local beers to take home. Honestly a super neat store. Too bad we were visiting but def one to check out for sure. Staff was very nice and answered some questions I had about the cooking classes. Thank!
