Earth Day…What’s in Your Glass?

Earth Day was celebrated this year in many ways and by many different entities, including wineries and vineyards. After all wine is about terroir, which is all about environment, climate, and dirt and all of that is affected by how we treat this Earth. As wine lovers, we should expect that those cultivating the grapes used for our wines are caring for their mother Earth.
