People keep asking me about Sulfite Free wines. Which ones are good? How do you know if the wine is Sulfite Free? Are sulfite free wines organic too? Well, the answers to those questions are: Lots. It says. And sometimes.
Let me give you the run down. Organic wines mean no pesticides, herbicides, chemical fertilizers or synthetic chemicals of any kind are permitted to be used on the grape vines or in the soil. Also, organic wines use waaaaaay less sulfites. As in, practically none compared to other non-organic wines. Here’s a blurb on the definition between “No Sulfites Added” … Read the rest
Frey wine is good for 2 things: a palatable table wine and wine that contains NO sulfites. Sulfites are not necessary for good wine making. To read more about sulfites and what Frey thinks about them and all that funky junk click here.
What I also like about Frey wine is that it’s cheap. There’s not that many organic, sulfite free wines running you around $8 out there. The only other no sulfite detected wine that comes to mind is La Rocca. But for La Rocca goodness it’s more around $13. If it was a battle between which … Read the rest

Ahhh, time once again to talk about Orleans Hill wine. I like this brand of wine and pretty much celebrate their whole catalog. To see other Orleans Hill wines that I have more than enjoyed click here and here.
I’ll keep this post short and sweet: Orleans Hill wine is good. No sulfites detected and it’s organic. Not bad for a California Red. The color is a rich purple and the flavor is somewhat complex. It’s earthy and berry all while being very light and dry. Orleans Hill Cote Zero is a Rhône-styled blend of Syrah (gives the … Read the rest

There are some brands of wine that I buy without reading what kind it is. This certainly goes for Orleans Hill wine. It’s organic and with no added sulfites. Sounds good enough to me. Plus, I know I enjoy some varieties already. I hadn’t tried the Zinfandel kind yet and I was looking forward to it. And it doesn’t hurt that this particular brand of wines easily runs you less than $15 and sometimes if there’s a sale at your grocery store less than $10. Nice, right?
When it can time to pop the cork, I was left a … Read the rest

Ladies and Gentlemen, allow me to introduce the wine winner of the “Wine of the Week” from the Santa Rosa Press Democrat. This award was based upon a blind taste test of 10 other organic red wines. What also makes this an awesome feat is that this particular wine is the cheapest out of all 10. Cheap as in less than 10 bucks. And less than 10 is good people; my money tree in the backyard is not growing those greenbacks like it should! Another thing I found interesting is that is also won against a Bonterra Cabernet. I haven’t … Read the rest
My friends and I all love wine. Personally, I enjoy the reds but I really haven’t met a wine I would say no to. So, this Summer my mission is clear… I want to find AND enjoy some wines that are organic and possibly with no added sulfites. Organic wines mean no pesticides, herbicides, chemical fertilizers or synthetic chemicals of any kind are permitted to be used on the grape vines or in the soil. Also, organic wines use less sulfites. Let me make this clear, ALL wines have sulfites. It’s true. What’s also true is that it would only … Read the rest
