Why I Drink Organic Wine, By Peter Rieks

The Organic Wine Company Posted on June 17, 2014 by adminMarch 31, 2021
Why I Drink Organic Wine

I am not really much of a wine drinker. And, I have to say that I never go down the organic aisle in my supermarket as my perception is that organic wines always come at a premium. But then I started doing some work for Veronique on the OWC website and she would send me home with bottles of wine which my wife and I would drink. It was lovely wine and we enjoyed it. It wasn’t long before I started to develop a taste and an appreciation for good wine. A few months ago my job required that I … Continue reading →

Crossing Over, By Kaitlyn Pintor

The Organic Wine Company Posted on March 11, 2014 by adminMarch 31, 2021
Crossing over by Kaitlyn Pintor

Crossing Over by Kaitlyn Pintor Alright already. I admit it. I am slowly going organic. Yes, I said slowly, but the important word here is “GOING”.  Slowly, because I have decided to do it my way.  Going, because I’d like to think I am intelligent enough to understand the reality of what’s happening in the environment, and because my own health demands a change. RESISTANCE For those of you who have always been organic, you may not have noticed that you stand out.  In fact, you are quite frankly a little intimidating.  What held me back from choosing organic were … Continue reading →

Red Wine Vs. White Wine: Health Benefits Breakdown, by Dr. Weil

The Organic Wine Company Posted on December 3, 2013 by adminMarch 31, 2021

It is reported that 71 percent of wine drinkers in United States choose red wine, and this majority is on the right track when it comes to the health benefits wine offers. Studies show that the compound resveratrol, found abundantly in red grapes (and blueberries), offers several heath benefits, including antioxidant properties that may lower the risk of type 2 diabetes and may even may help prevent cancer. A two-year animal study found that when a daily dose of resveratrol was administered (the equivalent of two glasses of red wine daily), the risk of developing cancerous tumors went down 50%. So … Continue reading →

Dr. Weil on Organic Wines

The Organic Wine Company Posted on May 29, 2013 by adminMarch 31, 2021

Dr. Weil, world-renowned health specialist, wanted to learn more about organic wines and their health benefits. After our conversation, here is his take: Should You Drink Organic Wine? Can you tell me anything about organic wines? I usually seek out organic produce, but have only recently learned that organic wines are available. Do they contain sulfites? Wines produced under organic standards are becoming more and more available, and some are excellent. Many people who buy and eat only organically grown fruits and vegetables often don’t consider that the grapes grown to make wine might be sprayed with the same pesticides, … Continue reading →

Michael Apstein Gives an 88 & 87 to La Marouette

The Organic Wine Company Posted on February 24, 2013 by adminMarch 31, 2021
Michael Apstein gives a 88 & 87 to La Marouette

Michael Apstein, MD and wine lover, was one of the journalists selected to go to the Millesime annual wine fair. He is a columnist at WineReviewOnLine.com and the recipient of the 2008Press Trophy. Here are his ratings of the Syrah and Chardonnay from La Marouette, both of which he tasted at the Millésime Bio 2013 in France. *   Maison des Terroirs Vivants, IGP Pays d’Oc (Languedoc, France) Syrah “La Marouette” 2012 ($15, The Organic Wine Company): An incredible value, this $15 Syrah manages to combine the attractive slightly beefy and the ripe plumy components that Syrah can deliver. It’s a masterful … Continue reading →

Qi Gong: Cultivate Spirituality

The Organic Wine Company Posted on January 16, 2013 by adminMarch 31, 2021
Qi Gong – Cultivate Spirituality

Fasten your seat belts! I like to call qi gong “meditation in movement”. I was introduced first to Tai Chi back in London in 1968-nearly 50 years ago (oh my God!). Since then I have studied multiple forms of yoga and qi gong. This one seems to cut to the chase, gets you right were you live and can be practiced just about anywhere. I’ve noticed that everyone around me seems  quite obsessed with “working out.” And I do agree with the fact that exercising until you become a sweaty, tired mess is sometimes useful. In fact, it should be … Continue reading →

PETA Recommends The Organic Wine Company!

The Organic Wine Company Posted on January 6, 2013 by adminMarch 31, 2021
PETA recommends The Organic Wine Company!

PETA  recommends us as your reliable source for vegan wines! We know what most of you are thinking right now: “But wait…how can wines not be vegan?” PETA reveals the cold truth: “The majority of people are unaware that wine, although made from grapes, may have been made using animal-derived products. During the winemaking process, the liquid is filtered through substances called “fining agents.” This process is used to remove protein, yeast, cloudiness, “off” flavors and colorings, and other organic particles. Popular animal-derived fining agents used in the production of wine include blood and bone marrow, casein (milk protein), chitin … Continue reading →

How The Wine Wench Became a Believer in Organic Wine

The Organic Wine Company Posted on January 3, 2013 by adminMarch 31, 2021
The Wine Wench is now “a believer”. She explains why.

The Wine Wench Goes Green (And Not With Envy)! By Sue Straight, Dec. 26 2012 I’ve been doing this wine writing thing for over ten years now and have loved every minute of it (and still do). Here’s a new twist ~ in addition to my usual ramblings and rants, I will now be doing an “Organic Wine of the Week” review. Here’s why ~ I recently met Veronique Raskin, Founder and CEO of The Organic Wine Company and she has opened my eyes to the beauty of organic wines. Like so many other wine folks out there, I was … Continue reading →

Michael Apstein rates Chateau Bousquette 93/100!

The Organic Wine Company Posted on January 1, 2013 by adminMarch 31, 2021

From WineReviewOnLine.com Chateau Veronique, Coteaux du Languedoc (France) 2008 91/100 ($16, The Organic Wine Company): The Languedoc is finally getting its act together and transforming itself from the so-called wine lake to a place to find excellent wines. The benefit for consumers is that the prices have yet to catch up to the quality of the wines. The Chateau Veronique is a great example. Herbal and spice nuances meld beautifully with black fruit flavors. Slightly tarry overtones peek out. The tannins are appropriately firm, yet not aggressive or intrusive. For all its size, it has grace and finesse. Not a fruit bomb, … Continue reading →

“Sulfite’s Headache is in Labeling” by Bill St John

The Organic Wine Company Posted on November 2, 2012 by adminMarch 31, 2021

“Fermentation by product is in all wine, but only U.S. requires warning This is the time of year when people tell me, as they return from their European vacations, that they drank bottle after bottle of wine with their meals and “never got a headache.” They explain this miracle by saying that wines in Europe “do not contain sulfites,” unlike wines sold in the U.S., the labels of which clearly state “Contains sulfites.” Because wine bottle labels in Europe do not print “Contains sulfites,” the assumption is that the wine does not as well. But it does; the label merely … Continue reading →
