March came in like a lamb- we hope it stays that way!
As we begin a new year, my thoughts always turn to the growers whose back-breaking labor produces the grapes that turn into our favorite wines. Farming is never easy, and organic farming even less so. But tending the earth with minimal chemical intervention is definitely gentler to our beleaguered planet. Nurturing the organic matter in our soils may even produce more flavorful wines. And consuming less chemicals is perennially at the top of my to-do list. Thus, we’re starting off 2021 with four producers who practice strictly organic viticulture. All the flavor, none of the chemical load.
