Parducci

All of Parducci’s vineyards are certified organic, and the winery is the U.S.’s first to be declared carbon neutral. Sustainable farming practices include composting, using 100% green energy, and encouraging natural pest predators instead of using pesticides. The winery also uses biodiesel to power winery equipment such as vineyard tractors and water pumps. Parducci’s labels are made of recycled paper and are printed with soy-based inks. Packing boxes are made of recycled, chlorine-free corrugated cardboard.

2007 Chardonnay

Tasting Notes: When the apple and licorice subsided this chardonnay landed the group in the vegetable patch; broccoli, parsnips, beets and brussel sprouts.  A robust white  that will partner with roast fowl, pasta with cream sauce and goat cheese salads.
