We’re Toasting: Mother Earth and Sustainable Wines on this Earth Day

I was talking to my mother yesterday morning who told me how very cold she was because they were in the middle of a deep freeze in Northwest Arkansas, with a spring snow blanketing the towns just to her north, and temperatures resting in the mid 30s.

The most wonderful time of the year has arrived as families and friends gather to raise a glass and toast the holiday.
