April 27, 2015

Washington—On Monday, April 27 Congressman Jared Huffman (D-San Rafael) presented Littorai Wines with his Sustainable North Coast Certificate in recognition of their commitment to conservation and environmentally-sustainable business practices throughout the winemaking process.

“From implementing biodynamic farming techniques to adopting an integrated and drought conscious approach to wastewater management, Littorai runs an environmentally low impact winery—while also producing exceptional wines,” Huffman said. “Littorai’s collective efforts and accomplishments are a model for 21st Century wine production techniques, and I am glad to recognize their outstanding commitment to green business practices with the Sustainable North Coast Certificate.”

“Founded in 1993 by Heidi and Ted Lemon, Littorai has distinguished itself as a world-class winery: Ted Lemon has been named a finalist in the category of Outstanding Wine, Beer, or Spirits Professional for the 2015 James Beard Foundation Awards. In 2010, Ted was named Winemaker of the Year by the San Francisco Chronicle.”
