Oregon -- Reducing carbon emissions, improving vineyard practices, reviewing water use—these are just some of the achievements and ambitions of Northwest wineries in 2010. While financial health is one element of the so-called triple-bottom line embraced by sustainable development advocates, some wineries are not skipping the environmental and social considerations in the midst of ongoing economic challenges. One of the biggest moves came this week, with Chateau Ste. Michelle’s announcement that its prize Cold Creek and Canoe Ridge vineyards had obtained certification through the Salmon-Safe Inc. and Low-Input Viticulture and Enology Inc. certification programs. Together, the two vineyards represent 1,368 acres of Columbia Valley vineyards—more than one-third of the winery’s acreage in the state.
