JULY 2007: AROUND THE STATE, DISPATCHES
TURNER
Cork is naturally renewable, but Willamette Valley Vineyards is
taking it a step further. The winery is the first in the world
to use cork stoppers harvested from Forest Stewardship Council
(FSC)-certified forestlands. WVV produces roughly 100,000 cases
of wine a year and starting with their 2006 vintage pinot noir
will use FSC-certified cork stoppers in all bottles.
