Aftermath of Sandpoint, Idaho W**emaker’s Dinner

Congratulation to Genesis Mountain Farm, chef Dave Gerszewski and the staff assisting with the Brazilian themed dinner held July 11th outside of Sandpoint, Idaho. 80 guests were served a memorable meal made so by the fresh – sustainable – organic produce provided by Genesis Mountain Farm, the skill of David and our delicious w**es!

The style and quality of w**e produced from grapes are greatly affected by vine training and trellising, which vary across different regions worldwide, including within the Columbia Valley AVA.

Unique soil conditions, slope requirements, and environmental factor’s associated to the giant glacial lake, dictate the use of specific trellises and vine training in areas like the Lake Chelan AVA and Rocky Reach AVA.

Shorter cordon training, replacement cane or spur pruned, 🌱with vertical shoot position (VSP)

• dependent on the Columbia Rivers air currents to protect from spring frost and winter damage
• shorter vine cordon length and trellis keeps the canopy and fruit closer to the warm rocky & reflective soil, extending ripening
• wind and breezes from the Columbia River increases evaporation of water from the canopy and fruit intensifies the juice for full bodied, juicy and intensly floral dark red w**e, like Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and luscious Grenacha.

Unique soil conditions, slope requirements, and environmental factor’s associated to the giant glacial lake, dictate the use of specific trellises and vine training in areas like the Lake Chelan AVA and Rocky Reach AVA. In Lake Chelan's high elevation and short growing season, specialized training methods enable the production of ripe dark red grapes and complex varieties with;

Higher cordon training, replacement cane or spur pruned, 🌱with vertical shoot position (VSP)

• protects buds from spring frost and winter damage
• shields fruit from hot reflective soils, slowing down sugar production in relation to phenolic levels during ripening
• and increases sunlight exposure for enhanced color and tannin development for full bodied dark red w**e, like Malbec, Syrah and even Tannat.

These things along with the unique glacial soils, adequate slope and lake effect, help create the unique w**e characteristics of the area.

Let me **e_bean_21 take you through our smaller, nested AVAs along the upper Columbia Valley AVA in Washington State. I’ll take you through our area estate vineyards in the Lake Chelan AVA and Rocky Reach AVA to discuss how vineyards impact the style and quality of grapes grown for w**e producers in our region.

🍀First off; it’s Spring! 🌸
That means vine training.
Trellising & pruning for the upcoming Bud break.
W**emakers and growers are shaping up the 2026 harvest as we speak! 🍀
