Sustainable Wines

Looking to make your wine consumption sustainable?  Try wine from Parducci in Mendocino County, CA.  It's drinkable.  I've had better, but I've had a lot worse.  Cooked a marinara with it the other night and drank it with dinner.  Delicious.

Ironically, I was in Whole Foods looking at their wine section when I came across their "Eco Friendly" offerings.  They had a bottle from France.  Nothing against France, but I had to quiz the wine stocker to find out how it could be "Eco Friendly".  They said it was for the organic aspects of the wine production.  That's all fine and good, but if the wine was shipped on anything burning fossil fuel, BOOM, any sustainable, organic and carbon-neutral product creation just went flying out the window and into our atmosphere.
