A Step Outsidethe Ordinary A Step Outside the Ordinary Idaho Wine – NOWN for its breathtaking wilderness and, perhaps Its Time more famously, for its potatoes, Idaho is also home to a fast-growing Kwine industry and fantastic wines. Has Come Nestled between the Rocky Mountains and the Snake River, Idaho wine regions nurture the grapes with a moderate climate, limited precipitation, and a consistent growing season that adds complexity to the grapes. The characteristically cold winters allow vines to go dormant gradually while ridding the plants of bugs and discouraging disease. A combination of cold nights and hot days serves to balance acids and sugars. The limited amount of rainfall allows growers to control water through irrigation. Idaho is known for growing and producing classic varieties including Syrah, Merlot, Riesling and Chardonnay, along with more adventurous wines such as Tempranillo and Malbec. www.idahowines.org 3 Idaho’s The state’s largest winery Ste.

    Institute for Policy Research and Engagement 1209 University of Oregon Eugene, OR 97403-1209 Phone: (541) 346-3889 | Email: [email protected] 2020 Oregon Vineyard and Winery Report August 2021 Overview: In a vintage defined by the COVID-19 pandemic, wildfires preceding harvest, and naturally lower yields, Oregon grape production and crush declined substantially in 2020. • With lower fruit set leading to lower yields and September wildfire smoke impacting harvest decisions, yield per harvested acre decreased by 24% and harvested acreage declined by 6.4% resulting in a 29% reduction in grape production—more than 30,000 tons less than in 2019. • The estimated value of wine grape production decreased 34% or by nearly $80 million to about $158 million. • Total planted acreage increased by more than 2,100 acres from 37,399 to 39,531, an increase of 5.7%. Increases were seen throughout the state in both the number of vineyards and total acres planted to grapevines. • The leading variety in planted acreage and production remains Pinot Noir, accounting for 59% of all planted acreage and 49% of wine grape production. • Total tons crushed statewide decreased by 23.1% from 84,590 tons to 65,009 tons, with modest increases seen in the Rogue Valley and Columbia River regions. • Case sales were roughly flat, growing 0.7% across all channels. Sales through direct-to-consumer channels declined by 26.8% overall, with some tasting room losses offset by wine club and web/phone orders. Sales into distributed channels increased by 3.5% in Oregon and 9.1% in the rest of the U.S.

  • Characterizing Inland Pacific Northwest American Viticultural Areas with Geospatial Data
    Characterizing Inland Pacific Northwest American Viticultural Areas with Geospatial Data Ian-Huei Yau1*, Joan R. Davenport1, Richard A. Rupp2 1 Crop and Soil Sciences, Washington State University, Prosser, Washington, United States of America, 2 Crop and Soil Sciences, Washington State University, Pullman, Washington, United States of America Abstract American Viticultural Areas are officially recognized appellations for wine grapes (Vitis vinifera L.). They represent not only geographic identification for growers, but also economic significance through price premiums for grapes from desirable appellations and wines sourcing grapes from such appellations. Petitions for establishment and official descriptions of American Viticultural Areas in the inland Pacific Northwest have traditionally relied on general descriptions of physical attributes and data from point measurements, namely weather stations. Examination of spatial datasets in a geographic information system provides a more holistic means of assessing viticultural areas and a spatially continuous representation of an area. Comparison of spatial datasets to official appellation descriptions largely corroborate petitioners’ claims, often with greater detail, but also highlight some shortcomings of official appellation descriptions. By focusing on spatial data representing environmental factors most important to wine grape production, viticultural areas can be described more thoroughly and accurately and appellations may be more appropriately delineated.

  • 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.
