Congratulations, Susan Sokol Blosser, on all of your hard work making Sokol Blosser Winery a leader in sustainability.
"President and founder Susan Sokol Blosser has pioneered green winegrowing and making in a state that is itself in front of the movement in the industry. Just west of Dundee, Sokol Blosser Winery farms organically and uses 50 percent biodiesel fuel in its tractors and unbleached paper for labels and wine boxes. Go to the Sokol Blosser website and you can track the energy output ofrom the winery's new solar panels in real time, as well as see how many pounds of carbon dioxide it has saved the environment this year.
