The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA), the UC Davis Department of Viticulture and Enology, and the UC Davis College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences are offering laboratory services, with limited capacity, to test winegrapes and wine for the presence of smoke compounds due to recent wildfires. In addition to commercial laboratories already performing tests, these laboratories are offering limited services to hopefully reduce testing turnaround times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are hearing many growers and grower representatives voice concern over lab turnaround time, as lab results are needed to make a decision about harvesting their winegrapes or to assess the resulting wines,\u201d said CDFA Secretary Karen Ross. \u201cTo answer a need in our world-renown California wine industry, CDFA is proud to partner with UC Davis to offer the resources of our laboratories.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The wine and grape industries of California are important to the state and to our college, \u201c said Helene Dillard, Dean of the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences at UC Davis.  \u201cThe wildfires this year have been particularly devastating, so we are very happy to be partnering with the CDFA to apply our collective resources to this important issue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur staff members are working diligently to meet the laboratory needs of the wine and winegrape industries resulting from the unprecedented number of wildfires on the west coast,\u201d said Gordon Burns, CEO of ETS Laboratories. \u201cWe appreciate the partnership of CDFA and UC Davis as we work together to answer industry needs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CDFA\u2019s Center for Analytical Chemistry (CAC) is offering grape analysis. CDFA\u2019s limited testing capacity is estimated to be 30-50 samples per day, with a turnaround time of 3-5 days, as long as a backlog does not occur. If a backlog does occur and the turnaround time will be longer, CDFA will provide that information on its website. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UC Davis laboratories are teaming-up to provide wine analysis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the analytical methods of the CDFA and UC Davis labs have been validated and are accurate, the methods are not ISO 17025 (International Organization for Standardization) accredited. Therefore, growers should verify with insurance providers and\/or legal counsel that the results will be acceptable before submitting samples. The laboratories will measure seven smoke-related compounds (guaiacol, 4-methylguaiacol, o-cresol, p-cresol, m-cresol, syringol, and 4-methylsyringol).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To submit grape samples, visit the CDFA laboratory website<\/a> for sample submission instructions, or contact CDFA at CDFA.CAC_receiving@cdfa.ca.gov<\/a> or (916) 228-6844. Price per grape sample is $246.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To submit wine samples, visit the UC Davis laboratory website<\/a> for more information. Price per wine sample is $150.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
