On our trip up to northern California we made our way up the coast by--a Cajun breakfast in Santa Barbara, wine tasting in Edna Valley, tri-tip sandwich at Firestones in San Luis Obispo, then finished off the night at the Thursday farmer's market with friends.
In college I really didn't enjoy wine, but now I write this while sipping on a glass. While tasting we notice the below signs and the stewards explained they are certified sustainable vineyard meaning they're mindful
of their watering practices, use of pesticides, impact on air quality,
etc.
I was impressed by all the SIP certified wines we tasted and the prices were reasonable too! Have you seen bottles with the SIP labels at your local market?
Warmly,
Jamie
You're well on your way to becoming a sustainable wine connoisseur. That's my Jamie- putting a green twist on a favorite past-time, drinking wine.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to bring over a bottle of Bonterra to try!
