Dear ETR: “Where do I find organic wine?”
“Kelley Herring had an insightful article in ETR about pesticides in wine.
“My question is: Where do I find organic wine? My health food store doesn’t have it. And I don’t remember seeing it in any grocery or ‘drug’ stores. Is there a company we could order it from?
“By the way, I live in Bryan/College Station, Texas. It’s not exactly a metropolis.
“Thank you for any help you may send my way.”

Dear Sally,
While organic wines can be found at most larger health-oriented markets, like Whole Foods and Trader Joes, I’ve found an even better option: The Organic Wine Company. Not only are their wines organic, they also offer sulfite-free and biodynamic wines.
Owned and operated by the Raskin family (which includes several forward-thinking doctors, might I add), The Organic Wine Company has been in business for 200 years. They work with small vineyards that take great pride in creating handcrafted wines that are eco-friendly too.
My favorites include Chateau Veronique - aptly named for the company’s spirited co-owner - with a jammy fruit character of cherry, plum, and blackberry, and Crozes Hermitage - a strong, aromatic Syrah with smokey, black fruit flavors.
Check out their extensive (and reasonably priced) selection at theorganicwinecompany.com. They even offer a 100 percent satisfaction guarantee.
