          sustainable leadership of California wineries and winegrape

          findings:

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

          2)California's wine community conserves water, energy, and other  
            natural resources; protects habitat, employee welfare, and  
            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.
