Has Alberto gone into the wine business? You heard it here first... unless, of course, you also get press releases from the Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance.
Don't worry about talking your head off as you roam through the area's vineyards, the bugs are the beneficial kind.
Paso Robles is actually on the forefront of the wine industry's adoption of sustainable farming practices. Part of this effort incorporates a Biologically Integrated Farming Systems program driven by the Paso Robles based Central Coast Vineyard Team.
Many Paso Robles vineyards are using beneficial insects that eat vineyard damaging mites. This reduces pesticide use and promotes a healthy soil base.
From watershed management to alternative fuels and solar power, more and more of Paso Robles wineries are pursuing sustainable practices and practicing responsible stewardship of the land.
And it could be a new slogan: "Farm Responsibly So We Can Drink Responsibly."
