Lower Water, and Resource Use with a Smarter Cellar Strategy The new Napa Green Winery Certification standards put greater emphasis on how wineries use water, energy and other resources across the entire operation.   Napa Green also requires wineries to establish operating baselines, track improvements and take measurable steps to reduce waste and greenhouse gas emissions over time. The challenge for winemakers is turning those goals into practical decisions throughout the cellar. Water Efficiency: Where is the most water being used?  Energy Efficiency: Which processes require the most energy?  Supply Chain and Waste Prevention: How often is equipment replaced?  Climate Action: How much material is being purchased, transported and discarded?  Continuous Improvement: Where can production improve while protecting wine quality? A more sustainable cellar does not depend on one major change. Instead, improve the processes, equipment and production decision

🍷 8,625 gallons of Dry Creek Valley Cabernet, with room to talk. As harvest activity ramps up, not every winery need has to be solved with another fruit contract. New on the WIN Marketplace is 2025 Dry Creek Valley Cabernet Sauvignon bulk wine from Lytton Manor Vineyard, with 8,625 gallons available. The wine is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, currently stored at Redwood Valley Cellars, and the seller says samples are available, pricing is negotiable, and they’ll entertain buyers looking for a range of quantities. The vineyard sits between Ridge’s Lytton Springs East and West vineyards, and the seller describes the wine as showing deeply extracted fruit, dark berry character, pronounced tannic structure, and expressive aromatics. Minimal oak was used with the goal of rounding the finish rather than creating a pronounced oak impression. The wine is listed at 13.3% ABV, 3.71 pH, and 5.80 g/L TA. For wineries evaluating Cabernet needs beyond the incoming vintage, this is a sizable Dry Creek Val

Coombsville Cabernet Worth a Closer Look Sometimes a bulk wine opportunity gets interesting because of exactly how specific it is. New on the WIN Marketplace is 531 gallons of 2025 single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from Coombsville. The wine is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the seller describes it as elegant and expressive, with balance and structure. Asking price is $30 per gallon. For a winery looking to supplement an existing Cabernet program, explore a smaller standalone bottling, or add a wine with a clearly defined Napa Valley origin, a focused lot like this can create options without requiring a large-volume commitment. And while August has much of the industry looking toward the incoming vintage, there’s still plenty of business happening around wine that’s already in the cellar. View Listing Wine sourcing doesn’t always mean starting with the next harvest. The right bulk wine opportunity can help a winery supplement an existing program, explore a new appellation, fill a speci

Dry Creek Valley Sangiovese Available Now Sometimes the right addition to a wine program isn't another truckload of fruit. It's 540 gallons of something different. Now available on the WIN Marketplace is 540 gallons of 2024 Sangiovese from Dry Creek Valley in Sonoma County. The wine is 100% Sangiovese and organically farmed, offering buyers an opportunity to explore a varietal that sits a little outside the usual California sourcing conversation. That distinction can be particularly useful this time of year. With the 2026 harvest arriving and production teams preparing for incoming fruit, wineries are also evaluating existing inventory and thinking about what comes next. A focused volume like this could offer flexibility for a winery looking to supplement an existing Sangiovese program, explore a new bottling, or add something different to its portfolio.
