If 10,000 SF Biters drink only organic wines for a month, we'll keep the weight of one ewe in pesticides out of the environment.
In 1949, Napa Valley's prune harvest totaled $1.4 million while its grape harvest yielded $1.3 million.
Ready, Ames, Fire
The Bite
Tired of wasting cash on wines that miss the mark? Set your sights on organic vino from Healdsburg's Medlock Ames Winery. Its zesty chardonnay will satisfy in summer, but its cherrylicious merlot and spicy cabernet (which holds its own with any meal) will really get you fired up. Or sample both worlds with the Red, a 50-50 cab/merlot blend with a flavor best described as fruity-mocha-'nilla (a technical term). MAW lets sheep, goats, and miniature cattle graze the vineyards, eliminating the need for herbicides (as well as fertilizer), and local wildlife like owls and hawks take care of pest control (no chems). To boot, the whole shebang is 100% solar-powered. Boom.
