About

Our laboratory is located inside the Davison Winery Supplies building – a longtime hub of the Oregon wine industry and a pioneer of the model of winery supplies and analytical services in a single building.

Founded in 2015 as a partnership between Corey Guinnee and the Davison family, Core Enology Analytical Services was an opportunity to reimagine how an independent wine lab could operate.

From day one, we’ve embraced accessible pricing and comprehensive panels on every sample. We also pride ourselves on friendly customer service and technical support for our clients.
