Thanks for the story, I didn't realize.

[@LiquidPleasures]

You’re welcome that’s our job and out passion--finding great stories on spirits, wine, cider and craft beers.

[@WineByRenee]

There is so much behind the bottles at McManis

[@mariec.vannest5701]

They're a good example of what wine needs to do.

[@LiquidPleasures]

They we agree, that’s why we featured them.

I always say big businesses are doing what big does best, change. And I love the focus McManis has.

I've always loved their wine.

[@LiquidPleasures]

We understand that 😃

[@WineByRenee]

Same here!

[@SammyBae-un9ni]

Cool to know wineries actually are doing something.

[@LiquidPleasures]

Many wineries are, the Lodi rules and other sustainability certifications just formalize steps McManis has been doing for years.

[@WineByRenee]

They really are at McManis

[@NinoMaluri]

Love when winemakers actually care.

[@LiquidPleasures]

They really care, our filming team came away quite impressed with Dirk Heuvel’s passion.

[@WineByRenee]

Same! The connection between the earth and wine is just so strong

[@Onmoneyline]

I'm always skeptical about green initiatives, but this is legit.

[@LiquidPleasures]

They are authentic and that’s why we wanted to bring you this good news story.

[@WineByRenee]

the thing about this is you can really follow what they are doing and see all the work s action it is amazing

[@owow6523]

California weather is so extreme, hope this helps.

[@LiquidPleasures]

There definitely are some changes afoot in California, and McManis is a leader in progressive agriculture. They’re doing what they can.

[@WineByRenee]

Yes but all the effort works out

[@Anton-xd5zd]

Good wines, good attitudes, what's not to like.

[@LiquidPleasures]

We agree, they really care and we really like their wines! Its a feel good, taste great pour.

[@WineByRenee]

You have summed all of this up so perfectly

[@andrewd.costello8219]

This seems well thought out.

[@LiquidPleasures]

They really care!

[@WineByRenee]

There are a lot of intension behind these wines

[@franciscok.nelson262]

I hope all this isn't too late.

[@LiquidPleasures]

The members who follow the Lodi Rules think there’s still time to make a real difference. They started in 2005.

[@WineByRenee]

Change is possible, we also have to make better choices as wine lovers

[@jacke.mcneill272]

A winery which isn't green washing, thanks.

[@LiquidPleasures]

Nope, they are authentic and prove that in their actions.

[@WineByRenee]

I know right! I love it too
