    When people think of Idaho, their next thought is often potatoes. But once you hit the Snake River Valley, you'll find more grapes than you will spuds, and this year those grapes are celebrating a 15 year anniversary.

    According to the Idaho Wine Commission, Idaho's first American Viticultural Area opened in 2007. Over the years, it has grown from 15 wineries to more than 40, clearing the way for two more AVAs and producing more than 400,000 gallons of wine a year.

    Now, thanks to the Snake River Valley Wine Region, Idaho is not only a haven for potato lovers but wine connoisseurs as well.

    Joining Idaho Matters to talk more about this anniversary and wine is the Executive Director of the Idaho Wine Commission, Moya Dolsby and Crystal Potter, the Co-Owner of Potter Wines and a Board Chair with the Idaho Wine Commission.

    On Tuesday, 19 children and two teachers were shot and killed by an 18-year-old man at an elementary school in Texas and four more people were injured.

    NPR reports it’s the second-deadliest school shooting in U.S. history, only behind Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut on December 14, 2012.

    While the details of the shooting continue to unfold, the issue of guns and keeping our kids safe has become the focus of the entire nation.

    This year a group of students in Idaho, who have been affected by gun violence, approached lawmakers in the Idaho Legislature, hoping to come up with some solutions when it comes to guns and safety.

    Democratic Senator Melissa Wintrow listened to the stories of these students and worked with them for months to craft a resolution that would get the legislature to “encourage Idaho's residents and institutions to continue to educate, promote, and implement safety precautions for firearms access and storage.”

    Senator Wintrow joins Idaho Matters to talk about what happened to this resolution and about some of the other gun safety bills she has introduced.

    Idaho, like much of the country, is facing drought conditions. Officials at the state and local level are taking steps to make sure there’s enough water to go around.

    The city of Meridian has been taking proactive steps in water planning and conservation and wants to share information with the community about both its surface and groundwater supply, at a town hall Thursday night.

    Meridian Public Works Director Laurelei Mcvey says the city has a “robust and stable supply” of drinking water. She joins Idaho Matters to talk more about the city’s drinking and irrigation water supply.

    A man from Nampa recently became the first patient in this region to receive a new kind of heart pump before undergoing surgery.

    Without this device, he would not have been able to receive the operation he needed to live.

    According to Saint Alphonsus Health System, this new piece of technology helps the heart pump blood during and after cardiac surgery, which lets the heart rest until it can pump on its own again.

    Joining Idaho Matters is the doctor who performed this amazing surgery, Dr. Robert Farivar, who is the cardiovascular surgery Medical Director at the Saint Alphonsus Heart Institute in Boise.

    Just a few days after winning the GOP primary for State Attorney General, Raul Labrador led the charge to direct Central District Health to remove any recommendation for face masks from its website.

    This move comes as statewide cases of COVID-19 are ticking up, and Ada County continues to be a hotspot for cases.

    Last Friday, when the Board of Health met, the level of the virus found in Boise’s wastewater had more than doubled in less than a week.

    Joining Idaho Matters to talk about COVID-19, masks and the latest news is Dr. David Pate, former CEO of St Luke's Health System, and a current member of the Idaho Coronavirus Task Force.
