The state in the north-west of the USA with the capital Boise covers 216,443 km². It borders British Columbia (Canada) to the north, Washington and Oregon to the west, Montana and Wyoming to the east and Nevada and Utah to the south. Idaho was admitted to the United States in 1890 as the 43rd state.

The first attempts at viticulture date back to the 1860s; after a long standstill, it only revived in the 1970s, especially southwest of Boise in what is now the Sunny Slope area of the Snake River Valley. In 1975, Ste. Chapelle was founded, for a long time the largest winery in the state.

For me, Lexicon from wein.plus is the most comprehensive and best source of information about wine currently available.
