The vineyards, which are all their own, are farmed 100% bio-dynamically, the strictest form of organic viticulture. The base wine is all from the 1999 vintage. In the glass it has a wonderful, fresh pinot noir nose of strawberry fruit and forest air intrigue. On the palate it has a great small bubble texture with magnificent depth and terroir. if you ever want to splurge on wine, last new year’s eve we had Fleury Brut Rosé champagne and it was wonderful. it’s pricey, though – like $35 a bottle. it’s organic and vegan. i bought it at whole foods. here’s a blurb about it:

Just something I wanted to share: Today at Starbucks I happened upon "ethos" bottled water. The slogan is "helping children get clean water." On the back label, there's something about donating a million dollars or more to support "humanitarian water projects" by the end of 2006.<BR/>This sounds pretty good to me! I'll have to see if they sell this water by the case in grocery stores. Seems like a pretty easy way to do a smidge of good. Hey CL.

I wish companies like Starbucks would be a little more honest about what they’re doing, you know? People shell out extra thinking it’s for charity, but most of it’s really for Starbucks. Trying to do good shouldn’t feel us leaving duped…

And it was on sale at Ralph's, so no complaints here. My comment is that the Fetzer tasted good. And it was on sale at Ralph’s, so no complaints here.

The value that you are able to pick up at Trader Joe’s
Finca Solano Tempranillo Crianza (aged) at $6.99 and
Señorio de Solano Tempranillo at $4.99
are two of the best wine values available.
SALUD! and enjoy!
