I am working with GEM to make a better electric car for both people and cargo.,,I just hate to see your workers riding bikes in the rain and mud all winter long…I have two e6s models with the performance and cooling package working out of Middletown…I will let you know how they work there…by the way your Merlot is one of the best I have tasted…looking forward to drinking your red..MK

In a future where fossil fuels will be limited or non-existent, sustainability will be not only commendable but necessary. Thank you for having the courage to pave the way and showing that it can be done!

I really love reading success stories such as this. To take a facility such as a winery “off the grid” requires true foresight and a deep commitment to the environment….and they seem to have pulled it off in fine form. Well done everyone at Medlock Ames!

Medlock Ames proves sustainable can be beautiful; is it also delicious? I guess so, because on their website all their wines except the 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon ($50) appear to be sold out. They must be good!

Interest in eco-brewing is catching on as well, according to this review of the Long Trail Brewery in Bridgewater Corners, VT. They use a special technique that allows them to operate with one-third less water than the industry standard, and their Long Trail Ale has won awards for taste: http://intelligenttravel.typepad.com/it/2007/08/raising-the-bar.htmlhttps://www.medlockames.com/medlock/catalog/index.jsp
