"FRESNO, Calif. (AP) -- Consumers of California wine easily can tell a red cabernet from a white chardonnay, and soon they will have a tool to determine whether it's green.
Winemakers and grape growers who forgo pesticides, sow cover crops, reduce waste and energy consumption, provide workers health insurance, and are mindful of their non-farming neighbors will be able to distinguish themselves as certifiably sustainable under a new third-party audit system announced Wednesday by the Wine Institute, a public policy advocacy group."

Did you get to eat at Fattoria dei Barbi? One of my most memorable meal experiences ever.
I just returned from a wonderful trip to Piedmont (White Truffles festival) and Monalcino in Tuscany. I had booked with a great travel agency for a super saving deal (gate1) - They had every thing nicely organized - the trips to the wineries I did on my own
Sorry that my first post did not go through. For some reason, it isn't saved if I leave the post and return. Anyway, the wine from Corleone Winery is called Narciso and it is a Nero d'Avola. I tasted it in 2005 but expect it was probably a 2004. I liked it so much that I tried to order it directly from the NYC distributor but wasn't able to. They only distribute to restaurants. Did you taste the Nero d'Avola in a restaurant or were you able to buy it in a shop? Below is the link to my stock library. If you type in Sicilian wine or Nero d'Avola, a photo of this wine should appear. If it doesn't, let me know.
