Dear Winemaker,
 
Happy 2010!  Thank you for your support of Wine Wise during 2009.  I am looking forward to seeing you at the Annual Meeting of
the Idaho Grape Growers and Wine Producers Commission on February 24 at the College of Idaho in Caldwell.  Hopefully, you had a successful and busy 2009 Harvest!
 
After malolactic fermentation is complete, remember to do a monthly health check on your wines!
I recommend a Free SO2 and VA (acetic acid via enzymatic testing.  An enzymatic test for VA (acetic acid) via spectrophotometry is
more accurate that using a cash still.
 
For pre-bottling, I recommend a VA, TA, ph, Free SO2 and Total SO2.
 
Thank you again for your support this past year, and I'll look forward to seeing you at the meeting!  If you haven't registered, please

Have a wonderful week!
 
Sincerely,
 
Shauna

Welcome to Wine Wise – a new testing lab for the wine industry located in Boise, ID. With many new winemakers and wineries in Idaho, the need for testing wine is growing!  My name is Shauna Shaltry. I am a retired dental hygienist, an Idaho native, and have been helping winemaker Angie Riff, now at Periple Wines, for the past 7 years during “crush.”   Experience in the wine industry started in Napa Valley while Angie Riff was in CA. She is now in Idaho. When Angie approached me about starting a wine testing lab, it sounded like a great service to offer commercial wineries and hobbyists in Idaho. This is the first independently owned, operated, and insured lab in Idaho dedicated only to winemakers.  Expertise in attention to detail and procedure, sterile technique, and confidentiality, are Important in meeting your lab testing needs for wine . Wine Wise is currently offering testing using spectrophotometry, auto titrators, refractometers and hydrometers. With your support, additional services will be added in the future.

Hours of operation are M-F 7:00 am – 4:00 pm and weekends by appointment during crush.

I offer free pick-up of samples in the Treasure Valley for commercial wineries; requests must be made by 9:00 am for same day pick up. Please call, text, or email by 9:00 am. for commercial winery pickup.

Thank you for visiting Wine Wise! I look forward to hearing from you.
