Celebrate Earth Month by sipping sustainably!

Houston – April is Earth Month, and if you’re looking for a simple way to celebrate, you might want to start with what’s in your glass.

Wine and travel contributor Daniela Garrido is showing how easy it can be to sip more sustainably, without sacrificing flavor. Here are her picks!

1. J. Lohr, a winery that has been committed to sustainability for more than a decade. Their Riverstone Chardonnay and Seven Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon both carry the Certified California Sustainable Winegrowing seal, meaning they meet strict environmental and production standards. Even better, they are easy to find and budget-friendly.
2. Chamisal Vineyards brings a deeper sustainability story. As one of the first vineyards in California’s Edna Valley, they have gone beyond traditional practices by incorporating biodynamic farming and regenerative agriculture, even planting a dense mini forest on-site to support biodiversity.
3. Pine Ridge Vineyards is one to watch. Their Chenin Blanc and Viognier blend not only delivers bright, fruit-forward flavor, it also comes in a lighter-weight bottle designed to reduce carbon emissions. It is a small change that makes a big impact.
4. Grgich Hills Estate offers a Napa Valley Chardonnay that reflects the future of farming. Their vineyards are fully regenerative organic certified, focusing on soil health, biodiversity, and long-term sustainability. It is a wine that truly tells a story from vine to glass.
