What with employing birds and bees to do what they do naturally and an insectary garden to drive diversity, the Benzigers have, in Mike Benziger’s words, “created an environmental safe house” for grapevines. The Sonoma clan is committed to biodynamic farming — attracting pollinators, using natural controls, and recycling water and waste. Their Tribute, a Bordeaux blend, is the first certified biodynamic wine from Napa and Sonoma Counties. www.benziger.com/tribute or 888/490-2739.
