A winery goes green. Sounds easy right? Doesn’t organic do the trick? That’s what I thought until I saw this BNET special report on Green Business Tactics hosted by Sumi Das. Sumi visits with Frog’s Leap winery’s Jonah Beer who introduces us to dry farming and a future where his winery will be using 95% fewer inputs into the wine-making process at full efficiency. You’ll get to see Frog’s Leap’s solar set-up and LEED certified green building.

We have something similar in Humboldt Tn at Crown Winery.
Best of luck to Frog Leap.
