Basic, general question about reds

[Kcwhippet]

I thought I did when I mentioned Badger Mountain. So, Winenovice25, go to your nearest wine shop and ask for Badger Mountain. They make some rather nice wines, all made with No Added Sulfites. You didn't put in your profile where you live, so can't give specific recs for shops. If we knew where you were, one, or more, of us could probably give you the name of a shop that should have, or be able to get, the NSA wines for you. If they don't have Badger Mountain, they may have one of the following - La Rocca, Vinatura, Orleans Hill, Organic Wine Works, Frey, Carmen or Chateau Los Boldos. The last two are from Chile.

Incidentally, the last year the USDA gave statistics that I could find, they reported just six incidents of sulfite reaction in the United States from all food and drink sources, not just wine. Because of the regulations regarding the sulfite scare in the U.S. all healthcare professionals (hospitals, clinics, physicians, etc.) are required by law to report all such cases, but all they came up with is six. The legal limit for sulfites in food products is 350 ppm. Wines made with sulfites added generally have about 25 ppm or a bit more. The labeling requirement is that any amount over 10 ppm requires the sulfite warning label. These are facts, T, not speculation, rant or uneducated opinion. I would believe one of your supreme erudition should find it quite easy to verify, rather than dismiss out of hand.
