Cabernet Sauvignon. Washington is the 2nd largest wine producer in the nation with a wide array of great wines. The wines with the most potential include Syrah, Bordeaux blends, Tempranillo, Sangiovese, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc-Sémillon blends. Washington Wine Commission Vineyards in Montana are known to cultivate grapes used in making red wine varieties. These grapes include Frontenac, Marquette, Marechal Foch and Petite Pearl. While not as prominent, there are a few white wine varieties available, often made using St. Pepin and Prairie Star grapes. Other grapes found in the region include Frontenac Gris, and Crimson Pearl. Muscadine. In 2006, a gnarled old vine was discovered growing in a ditch producing beautiful thin-skinned green grapes. The variety wasn’t related to other known species and was named La-Sarachannah (pronounced La Sarah See Hannah). It is theorized to taste similar to Chardonnay. See the whole story here

The grape is a vigorous vine. Some people have reported growth of up to 25' in one season. To be successful, plant your potted plants as soon as you get them home (usually after threat of last frost, as that's when greenhouses start to carry them). A couple of vineyards can be found experimenting with cold hardy species including Marquette, Maréchal Foch, and Riesling Montana Grapes and Wines For the last few years, flavonoids—especially flavones, flavonols and flavanols—have been investigated as inhibitors of blood platelet aggregation. Flavonoids are capable of reducing blood platelet aggregation and the granule secretion induced by different stimulators. This effect is mediated by inhibition of different pathways, such as phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/PKB (AKT), extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2, p38 and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) ½ [ 40]. Inhibition of the PI3K/PKB pathway is most likely with GSE, because upon stimulation of the P2Y12 receptor the sub-units of the heterotrimeric Gi protein (Gα and the Gβγ dimer) are dissociated and activate different signaling pathways. The Gβγ dimers then activate the PI3K/PKB pathway, which results in activation of the αIIbβ3 integrin (fibrinogen receptor), and subsequent aggregation [ 41, 42].

But in the last half-century, researchers — most notably at Cornell University and the University of Minnesota — have been experimenting with breeding V. vinifera with grapes that are indigenous to the United States. Chambourcin. Illinois specializes in French-hybrid grapes including Seyval Blanc, Vignoles, Chardonel and Vidal Blanc along with a native red wine variety called Norton. Illinois Grape Growers and Vintners Association In 2004, Montana pastor Bob Thaden placed a phone call to a Minnesota man named Ray Winter. Thaden had heard that Winter was successfully growing cold-hardy grapes developed at the University of Minnesota, and wanted to find out if it was true. Winter assured Thaden that not only could these grapes grow in midwest winters, but they could likely be successful in Thaden’s home state of Montana, as well. Out in Miles City, Thaden put a few grape vines in the ground. They did well, so he planted a few more the next year. In August of 2022, White Raven Winery attended the 2nd Annual Montana Wine Festival and took home 1st PLACE in the (red) Vitis vinifera and (white) Vitis vinifera categories, as well as 2nd PLACE in the (red) Vitis riparia category! But artful wine-making means that we’re always watching the horizon.

The last parameter established in this study was thromboelastometry. This is a global assessment of haemostatic function for investigation of the interaction of platelets with the coagulation cascade, from the time of initial fibrin formation through to platelet aggregation, clot strengthening, fibrin cross linkage, and on to eventual clot lysis. In our study, we showed that GSE is able to reduce all thromboelastometry parameters ( Table 1), which confirms its strong multiple anticoagulant properties. But to continue growing, the industry must overcome persisting environmental and legislative hurdles. ‘A Blank Slate’ Murphy’s eventual hope is to use grapes grown from their own 18-acre vineyard at the base of Columbia Mountain off Elk Park Road. For the past few years, Murphy and Nieman have been experimenting with several different varieties on a portion of the acreage to see what grows best and whether or not it will make good wine. Nieman says they’re currently having tentative success with a variety called Petite Pearl. Frontenac produces fruity boisterous reds similar in profile to Merlot. Iowa is home to over 1,300 vineyard acres and more than 100 wineries. Iowa Wine Growers AssociationPATRICIA McGLYNN, the Montana State University extension agent for Flathead County, is the GRAPE GROWER GURU. Instrumental in forming a grape grower advisory panel which evolved into the Montana Grape and Winery Association, she also wrote and was awarded two grants to establish the Cold Hardy Wine Grape Trials in 2011. Four plots were planted to test 10 wine grape and 2 table grape varieties. The research trial just concluded providing helpful data on the feasibility of establishing a viable grape industry in the state. The grape growers and winery owners certainly sing the praises of the FANTASTIC FIVE and I in turn praise the growers’ and winery owners’ dedication and dogged devotion to their dream of nurturing great grapes destined for great wine. Coming from all walks of life and seasons in life, many of them husband/wife dynamic duos, I was duly impressed with their craft. Because my educational focus is more on the “A.D.” side of the industry – ACTUAL DRINKING, I was delighted to macerate in the “B.C.” angle of wine – BEFORE CONSUMPTION.

Chardonnay is likely to be the most planted variety, with the next most planted grape being Chambourcin. Others include Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Pinot Gris, Seyvel Blanc and Riesling. Delaware Wineries Association We carry three types of grape that are great for growing here in Great Falls. The Valiant grape that Mark mentions is a second generation hybrid based on the Beta grape, a cross between the Concord and the Riverbank grape and will flourish in our area. Both Tom and Larry conducted a pruning workshop during the conference. Larry recently took over a vineyard on Finley Point in Polson, Montana. Believed to be one of the oldest Montana vineyards originally planted with Pinot grapes, Larry is now nurturing Marquette, Verona and Petite Pearl grapes. Tom advised the workshop attendees in how to best prune these cold hardly grape varieties and was bold enough to hand a brown thumb like me, a.k.a. the Serial Plant Killer, a pair of pruning shears! An unlikely place for wine grapes, but there are several persevering viticulturists experimenting with Vitis riparia. We were impressed with Wild Grapes somewhat cryptic blog. North Dakota Grape and Wine AssociationThaden officially opened his winery in 2010. Today, Tongue River Winery is still the only commercial winery with a vineyard in eastern Montana. These interspecies hybrids are more cold-hardy (some withstanding temperatures as low as -35 degrees Fahrenheit) and are more amply disease-resistant. They taste differently from wines that people are commonly familiar with, and these unique flavor profiles are something that the McGuires like to embrace and explore. It’s disappointing from the point of view of a producer to have to face a lot of hurdles that other states have already worked through,” Thaden said.
