California would bring to your mind the glamorous hills of Hollywood and the exquisite streets of San Francisco but the region is also famous for its delicious grape wine. Much to the delight of locals, Hall Wines, an establishment in St. Helena has been certified at the LEED Gold Level and is one of the most famous in the Napa Valley.

Kathryn Hall and President Mike Reynolds have developed this ultra modern winner which exceeds all expectations expected out of a vineyard. Most of the materials used in the vineyard and packaging department are sourced from within 500 miles and it is a great thing too, as it supports the local industry.

Moreover, the facilities are green and eco friendly and they do not waste a lot of energy, if at all any. Wine industry in California has taken a beating due to the current recession and that makes them even more aware of the corporate responsibilities and being eco friendly, in order to win the patr9onship of savvy customers.
