Additionally, a complementary suite of activities collected ground-based terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) data from a number of vineyards in the SR-AVA to facilitate improved site-level characterization of key parameters like topographic slope, aspect, and, potentially, soil characteristics. The rationale for this project was to provide access to a dataset of high scientific quality to existing and future producers of wine grapes (and other specialty crops) in order to help inform their planning and operational practices. To ensure success it was, therefore, necessary to understand (1) what attributes and indices of climate and weather are used by growers in their decision-making process, and (2) how to use the advanced climatological dataset to calculate these indices through space and time. Project Approach The project used a state-of-the-art climate dataset previously developed by the PI at Boise State University with support from NASA and the National Science Foundation. The dataset was developed using a regional model capable of simulating land-atmosphere conditions at spatial resolutions that explicitly permit convection (e.g., < 4 km) and sub- diurnal temporal resolutions, the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. In the SR-AVA it is particularly important to capture climate variables at substantially higher spatial resolutions than other available climate products because the area has spans a large elevation range and is associated with significant topographic complexity that influences the distribution of key variables like precipitation and temperature. It is also important to capture sub- diurnal fluctuations in weather and climate because Idaho’s continental and desert climate are associated with potentially rapid fluctuations that cannot be captured by daily summary data. The dataset is composed of two spatial domains/ an outer domain that captures the entire Snake River Basin at a spatial resolution of 3km and a nested, inner domain that captures the SR-AVA and Boise River Basins at spatial resolutions of 1km. In both cases, output from the model is available at 1 hr temporal resolutions. WE ran the model for a continuous period spanning October 1, 1986 through September 30, 2017. This encompasses 30 years of water data. Because the model simulates the entire land-atmosphere column, the dataset is exceptionally large (more than 300 TB). Hence a significant portion of this project involved data reduction and sub-setting of key variables. 3 Over the course of the first project year, we conducted a thorough literature review and interviews with a number of vineyard operators in the Sunnyslope region of the SR-AVA to ascertain what facets of climate and weather were important for making planning and operational decisions. Based on this literature review and engagement with key stakeholders, we found that the climate factors of interest to growers could be grouped into two subsets. The first included climate metrics and indices that are commonly related to the favorability of a location or year for growing grapes. An example climate index in this category are the growing degree days (GDD), which capture the accumulation of atmospheric heat content above some threshold value. Historical estimates of GDD are frequently used to assess the favorability of growing conditions at a particular location and make decisions about grape varietals likely to succeed at that location. The other category of climate indicators include those that capture potentially damaging weather conditions. These include the day of first frost event during a given growing season, a “frost” being defined as a continuous period of below-freezing air temperatures lasting at least 5 hours. The day of first frost is an important determinant of when harvest and any winter vine maintenance activities should be complete. Our literature review and interviews were used to develop a list of high-priority indices that would be obtained throughout space and time for the SR-AVA from the regional database. For all indices that we computed and visualized, these datasets represent the highest-resolution data available to support growers in Southwest Idaho. Having obtained a prioritized list of climate indices, we developed a web-based visualization tool that allows users to interactively explore these key indices throughout the SR-AVA and during all years captured by the climate database. The functionality allows users to see region-wide trends in variables, zoom in to see patterns in finer spatial detail, and develop plots of historical years at an individual site-level. Our visualization tool is developed using an R Shiny server that was deployed on Boise State’s network. The R Shiny framework allows users to view both geospatial and time series data interactively with minimal configuration required by the developers. Importantly, the available geospatial visualization utilities allow a suite of base layers (maps) that provide meaningful spatial context for users. These base layers provide visualization of key geospatial attributes like roads and highways, waterways, National Forests, and other signposts to orient the viewer. These are displayed in a hierarchical fashion, meaning that the base layers refine in their scale as the user zooms in. A critically important facet of this R Shiny platform is that it is extensible and easily

  • Antioxidant Capacity and Stilbene Contents of Wines Produced in the Snake River Valley of Idaho
    Food Chemistry Food Chemistry 105 (2007) 195–203 www.elsevier.com/locate/foodchem Antioxidant capacity and stilbene contents of wines produced in the Snake River Valley of Idaho J. Lee *, C. Rennaker United States Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, Horticultural Crops Research Laboratory Worksite, 29603 U of I Lane, Parma, ID 83660, United States Received 26 July 2006; received in revised form 11 January 2007; accepted 28 March 2007 Abstract Forty-two wines produced from grapes grown in Idaho were examined in this study. The samples examined were from four mono- varietal wines (12 Cabernet Sauvignon, 9 Merlot, 7 Riesling, 14 Chardonnay). Wine samples represented twelve wineries that obtain their fruit from vineyards located within Idaho’s Snake River Valley. Titratable acidity, pH, specific gravity, colour measurements (lightness, chroma, and hue), % haze, total anthocyanins, total phenolics, total tannins, antioxidant capacity, and individual stilbene measurements were performed. The antioxidant capacities (ORAC values) of Idaho wines ranged from 3.1 (Merlot wine) to 87.0 (Cabernet Sauvignon wine) lmol of Trolox/ml (mean = 38.5 lmol of Trolox/ml). Mean ORAC values of Merlot wines (mean = 27.6 lmol of Trolox/ml) were lower than the other three styles (mean for Cabernet Sauvignon wines = 41.0 lmol of Trolox/ml, mean for Chardonnay wines = 42.8 lmol of Trolox/ml, and mean for Riesling wines = 39.4 lmol of Trolox/ml). Free stilbene levels (four different stilbenes) were exam- ined by direct-HPLC/DAD/ESI-MS/MS method. Piceid and resveratrol (both trans- and cis-) were found in the samples. Stilbene levels ranged from 0.97 (Riesling wine) to 12.88 (Cabernet Sauvignon wine) mg (expressed as trans-resveratrol)/l.

  • Welcome Packet
    Welcome Packet 821 W. State Street, Boise, ID 83702 | 208.332.1538 | www.idahowines.org | [email protected] Dear Winery/Vineyard, Welcome, we are excited to be working with you! To begin with, I would like to give you some history about the Idaho wine industry. Known for its breathtaking wilderness and perhaps more famously for its potatoes, Idaho is also home to a fast growing wine industry with award winning wines. Nestled between the Rocky Mountains and the Snake River, the Idaho wine regions nurture the grapes with a moderate climate, limited precipitation, and a consistent growing season that adds complexity to the grapes. Idaho is known for growing and producing vinifera wine grape varieties such as Syrah and Viognier, as well as classic varieties including Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Riesling. The first wine grapes planted in the Pacific Northwest were in the 1860’s by French and German Immigrants in the Clearwater Valley of Northern Idaho. These wines were winning awards around the country, but prohibition in 1919 had a debilitating impact on the industry, bringing production to a halt until the 1970’s. In 1976, 57 years after prohibition, Ste. Chapelle Winery began their operation, becoming the first commercial producer of Idaho wines and is now the largest winery in the state. The Snake River Valley American Viticultural Area is the first registered AVA (American Viticultural Area) for the state, officially designated in April 2007. The AVA covers an area of 8,000 square miles and has comparable latitudes to many famous wine regions of the world.
