Our enological
research effort would not be possible without the support of the
Washington wine industry. We are committed to helping our industry

greatly appreciated.We also wish to extend sincere thanks to Chr
Hansen (Horsholm, Denmark), Lallemand (Montreal, Quebec), Scott
Laboratory (Petaluma, CA), Vinquiry (Napa, CA), the Wine Lab (Napa,
CA), and all the other companies and individuals who assist our
research effort.
