Posted on July 21st, 2009 by admin
Several media outlets reported that BSU will partner with the Idaho wine industry to develop a viticulture research center in Eagle. From the Daily Olympian:
The industry is partnering with Boise State University and the College of Western Idaho to establish a $1.1 million Idaho Viticulture Research Center outside of Boise.
The nonprofit center would include a teaching winery, a co-op winery where fledgling winemakers can share equipment, a tasting room, classroom space, a grape-crushing pad, lab and warehouse and distribution center at a 30-acre site in Eagle. A separate greenhouse and nursery for growing grapes is planned for the neighboring town of Star.
