The Three E’s Of Being Sustainable

Environmentally Sound – Grape growing and winemaking techniques are sensitive to the environment.

Economically Feasible – Your plan of action is economically feasible to implement and maintain.

Socially Equitable – Your response to the needs and interests of society.


You can base all your goals of being sustainable off of these three principles!

Fun facts about Monterey County’s wine region

The Monterey County AVA (American Viticultural Area) boasts over 45,000 acres of vineyards, making it one of the largest vinifera grape-growing regions in California. Monterey County's wine region is bound by the Monterey Bay, California's coastal mountain range, and extends into the Carmel and Salinas Valleys. The County's long growing season and varied climate result in seven different unique AVAs that span throughout the 80 mile-long valley. Grapes grown in Monterey County are characterized by their intense varietal flavor and balance of sugar to acid.

Freezing temperatures sweep California!

Stages of Dormancy in Grapes

Main physiological stages exist related to dormancy and cold hardiness in grapes.

1. The first stage in the dormancy process is acclimation, which is the ability to adjust to climate change. Dormancy begins after the grapevine has ripened its final crop and no more shoot growth will occur. This will take place during the fall months; October and November.

2. The second stage, mid-winter hardiness, is the ability to survive particular climatic adversities, especially freezing temperatures during dormancy. This occurs December through February. There is a limit as to how cold hardy a particular cultivar can be based on its genetic background. When grapevines are exposed to temperatures 20 °F or below max hardness occurs.

The answer you all are waiting for is NO…. the grapevines were not affected by the freezing temperatures we saw in California last night. The cold temps actually helped the grapevine progress further into its dormancy period, where the vines will be through the winter months.
