organically grown wines

[cpurvis]

Amber, as Roberto mentioned, you'll find a wide variety of good to very good quality organic wines from S. France & California. Trust his judgment re: Italian varietals as well.

Two other points: First, in addition to certified organic producers, be aware that there are a number of California wineries that practice "natural farming"...they aren't certified organic, but they avoid introducing unnatural elements into the process unless absolute disaster looms. I believe that Montevina is one of this breed.

Second, don't overlook your own Okanagan, B.C. wines. Those of us in the Northwest US routinely lament the lack of those wines on our store shelves, & several of those producers practice natural/organic methods. Hainle Vineyards & Hillside Estate are two of those. Another, Summerhill Estate, practices organic farming & something like Ouiji board production [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/wink.gif[/img] w/ their "pyramid aging cellars."
