“Organic” wines? Says Who?
What does “organic” means when it comes to wines?
You pick:
—grapes grown according to strict organic guidelines?
— no sulfites? Or no sulfites added?
— no headaches?
— best wine you can buy; worth seeking out?
— lousy wine, better drink it up fast because it won’t last?
— some mysterious combination of the above?
I don’t pretend to know, but all these questions remain even after reading last week’s Parade Magazine story on organic wines. The story answered a few questions, and seemed to raise many more.
On top of that, I received the following query from “Uncorked” reader Cynthia, who we’ve helped out in the past with food-and-wine pairings and other matters. This time, she sends along the following:
“I read aboutOrganic Wines in last week’s Parade section. Anyone ever try these? What’s the point? It sounds like another weird …
… concept like non-alcoholic wines…”
I do not know how to answer her. Any suggestions? What are YOUR thoughts on organic wines?
Happy Thanksgiving early, and more on that tomorrow …
Cheers!
