The University of Nebraska-Lincoln viticulture program is part of a multi-state team that received a $2.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture Specialty Crop Research Initiative. The grant will tackle the obstacles in vineyards, wineries, tasting rooms and tourism to bring cold hardy grapes to a wider market.

Nice video of Parducci Winery (http://www.parducci.com) in Mendocino, California. Known as a green winery, it is reportedly the first carbon neutral winery in America. What did Parducci do to achieve this difference and accomplish such a unique green way of being?
Take a look at the video – it describes their process from the dirt to the bottle. How difficult would it be for you to…
· Switch to solar and wind powered energy;
· Purchase grapes from local vendors;
· Practice organic farming methods and pest management practices;
· Use eco-friendly packaging.
FYI – Our friends at the Napa Valley Grapegrowers Association have an upcoming 2-day event called the Organic Winegrowing Conference. Click here for more details: http://www.napagrowers.org/owc.html
