    “Larkmead Vineyards was one of the highlights of our trip. We had a one-on-one tasting with a super dynamic guy there who walked us through the vines and taught us about the land and the process, and we tasted the grapes. We bought some of our favorite Cabernets to bring home.” Slideshow: Road Trip Along the California Coast.

“The valleys that make up Napa and Sonoma boast 1,500 wineries between them, providing world-class options for oenophiles. However, the soil not only lends itself to grapes, but also to a deeply rooted farming culture, placing this destination in the center of the organic movement.”

“We wanted our winery to rely upon recycled materials. When I first approached our local contractor about ‘green concrete,’ which is made with fly ash, he looked at me like I had lost my mind. But when I came back to him with a list of the components necessary, he produced it for us. He was very proud; it was a first in Napa.” Read the article.
