Sunny With a Chance of Flowers

Sunny With a Chance of Flowers is a family-owned winery in Monterey County. Its team includes winemaker Casey Di Cesare and Heidi Scheid, whose title is Chief Sunny Officer.

The winery is certified sustainable by the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance. A 400-foot-tall wind turbine supplies renewable energy to the winery, with excess electricity returned to the grid—enough for over 120 homes in the local community each year. During winemaking, the grapes are crushed and fermented to dryness, converting their natural sugar into alcohol until no residual sugar remains. Alcohol is also gently and gradually removed from the wine through a proprietary process, resulting in lower-alcohol wine.
