In wine, sustainability is often mentioned alongside terms like organic and biodynamic. But sustainability is its own entity. It doesn’t just involve environmental protections; it also incorporates economic viability and social impact.
That last part is often overlooked, but it can go hand-in-hand with commercial success. By incorporating social impact into their initiatives, wineries across the country do well while also doing good.
“Taking care of others is a ripple effect. It goes out in the universe and eventually comes back.”
Cathy Corison, Corison Winery
Napa’sCorison Winery is celebrating its 34th vintage, and for more than 20 of those, Cathy Corison, its winemaker and founding partner, has farmed Kronos Vineyard sustainably, planting cover crops and composting. She’s installed fixtures to maximize temperature control in her barn, and made solar panels the winery’s primary energy source.
