Lab Analysis
Formal wine tasting discussions are enhanced with lab analysis reports from ETS Laboratories.
This year's Steamboat Panel includes the following analyses: Free and Total SO2, TA, pH, VA, Residual Fermentable Sugar (Glucose+Fructose,) Malic Acid, Ethanol, 4ep/4eg, and Rapid Phenolic Panel (tannin, catechin, polymeric anthocyanins, total anthocyanins).
Steamboat and ETS are very eager to have all participants submit each formal wine for analysis. Lab reports will be included in the tasting notebooks provided to all participants. You will receive a copy of your report prior to the conference. We hope that data provided by ETS will complement and enhance tasting discussions by removing interwinery variability in the analytical data presented.
