Toasting Organic Wine

It wasn't long ago that one barely heard of Organic Wine. But the concept clearly makes sense. As this article in the Vancouver, BC-based The Tyee, points out in today's issue,

"...it should never be forgotten that wine also simply comes from grapes; a food product grown in the dirt on a farm amongst the bugs and animals.

And what goes into that dirt and onto those grape leaves and into the fermenting vat before bottling all comes out again - in your stemware glass at dinner time.

Unfortunately, that wine all too often includes the residue of pesticides, herbicides and chemicals used by agri-business to grow fruit and vegetables all around the world."

The article is very comprehensive, and provides a fine overview of the current state of organic wine-making (as well as some reviews).

And if all this wine reading makes you want to try some, check out our selection (which will soon be dramatically growing thanks to our partnership with the folks at the Organic Wine Company).

Cheers!
