Video Series: What Organic Means in the World of Wine
Yorkville Cellars, in Mendocino County, was one of the pioneers of Eco-friendly farming in the wine industry. Their vineyards have been certified by the California Certified Organic Famers (CCOF) since 1986, and they’ve been making great wine from the beginning. Of course, with all the different terms and certifications, it can be difficult for consumers (and even for people that work in the industry) to understand just what is happening in the vineyards and on wine labels. So, to clarify some of the confusion and to help people make more informed purchasing decisions, we talked to Yorkville Cellars’ owner, Edward Wallo.

I always assumed that organic wines were not as good, never knew that organically grown grapes could make such great wine, but after reading the reviews, I'll have to give them a try.

I never understood Sustainablity vs. Organic farming and did not know that it was easier to claim sustainabilty. I thought they would be similar. Thanks for enlightening me.
