Good Vino from Mendocino
Date: August 15, 2008 | Category: Events, Food & Drink, Lifestyle, Travel & Leisure
The vinic verdict is in: Bonterra Vineyards of Mendocino county, California, tempts lips with certified organic wines at prices that are very palatable. Eschewing synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides, they’ve adopted unconventional, innovative viticulture techniques-such as releasing their free-range chickens to comb the farm for undesirable insects and cutworms (the ethical eggs are an added bonus). The labels are printed with soy ink on recycled paper and the bottles are at least 50 percent recycled glass. Organic oenophiles rejoice.

When I first started to read this article I was excited for a new Californian Organic wine but upon further exploration of the company I was soarly disappointed. I am in love with ecofabulous! Although Bonterra Vineyards only exports to the UK so intern all the amazing green efforts seem to go astray. Is there a reason they do not sell here in the US? So for all your accolade we are not able to partake of the delights
