We'll I guess there are plenty of people out there that don't but maybe it's because they haven't taken the time to realize how romantic it can be. I mean it's a love story from the earth to your mouth. It's like a romance novel with all of the sexy details of the region and land it comes from. Now why would you want to go and dump a bunch of chemicals on something so beautiful? It boggles my mind...so it makes me very happy that there are more and more options of local Organic and Biodynamic Wines to choose from out there.
One of my favorites is the 2009 Pinot Nior from Frey.
Not only is this wine great with spicy food (like the Wild Rice Mexican recipe I posted below) but the owners of this winery have a fabulous love story about themselves and how this family owned organic winery in California came to be.
"Paul Sr. and Beba Frey grew up a few blocks apart in the gritty Brooklyn, New York of the 1930's and 40's. Paul relished his summer escapes to the Poconos Mountains, Pennsylvania. And Beba found bliss each summer on a Catskill Mountains dairy farm. Each vowed to escape the city permanently. They later met and married in medical school. While their family grew, they longed for a life closer to nature and finally settled down in Northern California in the early 1960's on their ranch in Redwood Valley, Mendocino County. The 12 children grew up instilled with love and respect for the natural environment, and picked up gardening, farming, and agricultural skills, as their parents had dreamed."Read more at their website: http://www.freywine.com/history.html where you can also buy wine to be shipped to you. They can ship to most states but if they can't ship to yours I'm sure you can find it at one of your local wine stores you just do a search at: http://www.freywine.com/near-you.html
