I went to the Better Living Show this weekend and learned a lot about Willamette Valley Vineyards' efforts with Cork ReHarvest and their other sustainable activities. I had always preferred natural cork (those plastic and synthetic closures are tough to open!), but now learning about how it is a recyclable and renewable resource makes me only want to buy wine with natural cork Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-845443562474251961.post-12787498344137966132010-03-26T23:23:57.134-07:002010-03-26T23:23:57.134-07:00Very inspiring reading.

Borrowing from the growler used for microbrews, but a "gowlier" for wine. Bring yours in each visit and get wine right from the barrel. NO corks, no new bottles -- and MUCH a better size -- 1000 ml instead of 750ml. 33% more!Cindy Andersonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-845443562474251961.post-728250346246873092010-03-26T13:47:27.379-07:002010-03-26T13:47:27.379-07:00AJ & Josh, thanks for your thoughtful comments...AJ & Josh, thanks for your thoughtful comments. Great examples for us too!<br /><br />Rachel, as always, I bow down to you. I hope to continue to learn from your example and hope you continue to share all your crazy roadkill dinner stories with us! By the way, my favorite little wine, Pinot noir goes great with deer (roadkill or otherwise).

I'll keep them in mind whenever I visit the wine shop.<br /><br />Buying local and buying green is certainly doing your part on behalf of the environment. Kudos!Joshua S.
