New AVA: Snake River in Idaho

On April 9 Snake River Valley will officially become an AVA, American Viticultural Area. Snake River Valley is in the state of Idaho(!) and covers a total of some 21,400 square kilometres. The area is described as high altitude, cool desert. But there’s only some 30 wine producers in the whole state though, with a vineyard area of around 1800 acres (730 hectares). That brings the total number of AVAs to 236. pr-inside.com
