Thaden officially opened his winery in 2010. Today, Tongue River Winery is still the only commercial winery with a vineyard in eastern Montana. Pinot Noir. The state’s dedication to cool-climate Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay has international acclaim. Oregon is the 3rd largest wine producing state in the nation. Oregon Wine Board Tongue River Winery’s La Crescent, a white wine grape developed from Muscat to thrive in the harder climate of Montana than most Muscat grapes could tolerate. However, Tongue River’s La Crescent positively thrives, winning awards and making for one of the most exciting white wines that you’re likely to try.

Platelet activation by ADP is mediated by two G protein-coupled receptors: P2Y1 and P2Y12. The P2Y1 receptor interacts with Gq, whereas P2Y12 is coupled to the Gi-type of G proteins. Previous studies with receptor agonists have suggested that activation of both P2Y receptors is required for a full response of platelets to ADP. Generally, the P2Y1 pathway initiates platelet activation and mediates weak responses to ADP, whereas the P2Y12 receptor plays a role in strongly amplifying the platelets activation process and is essential for a full aggregation response to ADP and the stabilization of aggregates [ 38]. VASP is an intracellular platelet protein that is non-phosphorylated in its basal state. VASP phosphorylation is regulated by the cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate (cAMP) cascade, whereas it is inhibited by ADP through the P2Y12 receptors’ activation. Under test conditions, VASP phosphorylation correlates with P2Y12 receptor inhibition, whereas its non-phosphorylation state correlates with the active form of the P2Y12 receptor [ 39]. In our investigations we were focused on a platelet activation pathway dependent on ADP. With the present study, we proved that anti-platelet GSE activity is dependent on the P2Y12 receptor (increased VASP phosphorylation, reduced PRI). In the work of Rywaniak et al., a phenolic acid-rich extract of Arnica montana (7.5 and 15 µg/mL) significantly reduced the ADP-induced aggregation in both whole blood and PRP, and decreased the platelet reactivity index (PRI; VASP phosphorylation) in whole blood [ 28], which confirms our own results ( Figure 1).

At this point, Montana is home to less than 20 winemakers who are growing and producing their products within the state. That’s in contrast to hundreds in states like Oregon and Washington. Thaden says that he and others will continue to try to show legislators the economic opportunity that wine grapes could bring to the state — and find ways to help growers become established more easily. From there, the Montana wine scene and its unique flavors and contributions may continue to grow. PATRICIA 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.

But to continue growing, the industry must overcome persisting environmental and legislative hurdles. ‘A Blank Slate’McGuire has trained her palate to be able to taste this nuance — through years of experience in the wine country of Italy, the vineyards of Argentina, and beyond. Today, she uses that expertise in a location that isn’t known for its wine prowess but someday could be: Montana. 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 Association The end result is a dry red wine with good body, pleasant and complex enough to be enjoyed on its own but pairing fantastically well with grilled beef and other hearty foods. You’ll get notes of cherries, pepper, and tannins, with notes of oak from the aging process. Patricia, Zach, Larry, Harlene and Tom are the FANTASTIC FIVE of Montana’s up-and-coming grape industry. Montana’s climate would otherwise be the wrath of grapes if not for the expertise of these grape crusaders. They indeed are a treasure of the Treasure State. Paired with the passion of Montana’s vineyard owners and winemakers, the Big Sky Country has the potential for making a big mark in the wine world.

Just under 10 wineries exist in Utah and only a few grow their grapes on Utah’s terroir (the others import grapes from California or Idaho). The oldest winery, Castle Creek located in Moab, first planted in 2006 with grapes including Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. Of course, because Utah’s most popular religion, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints teaches abstinence, state wineries do not receive much local support. Here is a detailed article on Utah’s surprising wine history. Blood samples were drawn from 30 healthy volunteers (15 men and 15 women, with a mean age of 24.9 ± 8.2 years), without chronic disease and untreated by drugs. The volunteers did not use supplements or have special diets (vegetarian or vegan, etc.). The donors had not taken salicylic acid or its derivatives, nor any other non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs for at least 2 weeks. They were also non-smokers. A complete blood count, biochemical analysis, food frequency and daily eating history (based on special prepared survey) were all collected. We established that that the range daily polyphenol intake came to 1803.4 ± 468.3 mg/day. They’re called marquette grapes, and they’re the “grandchild” of the pinot noir grape, bred with indigenous American grapes. In the finished wine, the taste of the berry is recognizable. It bears some of the deep jammy flavors of its pinot noir ancestor while also being pleasantly tart. Grapes like marquette represent a new chapter — or rather, a first chapter — for Montana’s wine-making industry. Montana vineyards are found within the mountain ranges that Montana is famous for. Given the climate and grapes suitable for cultivation in the region, the wines most often produced include Gewurztraminer, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, and Pinot Noir.
