           SUMMARY  :  Proclaims April 2013 as the month to celebrate the  
          sustainable leadership of California wineries and winegrape  
          growers with the theme, "California Wines:  Down to Earth."   
          Specifically,  this resolution  makes the following legislative  
          findings:

          1)Growing participation in organic, biodynamic, and sustainable  
            certification programs further conveys California vintners'  
            and growers' adherence to high standards and dedication to  
            continuous improvement.

          2)California's wine community conserves water, energy, and other  
            natural resources; protects habitat, employee welfare, air,  
            water, and soil quality; and, promotes the use of natural pest  
            management and alternative energy and fuels.

          3)California's wineries and winegrape growers are primarily  
            family businesses, with a long-term commitment to the health  
            and vitality of their communities; and, to preserve the land  
            for future generations.
