â€śFine wine in kegs is not only a green solution but also provides a way for more people to experience these delicious wines,â€ť noted Emma Swain, CEO of St. Supery Estate Vineyards & Winery. â€śWe are grateful for all that Free Flow Wines has done to bring acceptance to fine wine in kegs, which in turn supports by-the-glass programs we have established around the country. To receive this award during Earth Month is especially gratifying.â€ť
By kegging at the winery in Rutherford, Napa Valley, St. SupĂ©ry ensures the integrity that all its wines are estate bottled with care at the winery whether in glass or keg. â€śIt is important to us that our wines are served where our fans are out for enjoyment; their favorite restaurants, events at hotels including pool and spa facilities, as well as sporting and concert events,â€ť said Swain. Sustainability runs deep for this forty-two-year old Napa Valley winery. An early adopter of the Napa Green certification program, St. Supery has been Napa Green Vineyard certified since 2008, and Napa Green Winery certified since 2012. Additionally, the winery is a Silver Member of International Wineries for Climate Action. As authentic as the place it calls home, 100% of St. SupĂ©ry wine is certified Napa Green Vineyard and Winery.Â
