Organic Demand and Prices Will Drop! :)
In short, there’s enough organic stuff to satisfy people’s needs, so sellers can’t keep gouging consumers. And the good news is the Organic Monitor believes the price drop will continue for a couple of years. Plus the lower prices will help improve sales for low-cost organic retailers, and private labels. Although, the Organic Monitor does warn that the recession will effect the growth of the organic market. It won’t halt it, but will slow it down a bit.
So feel some relief the next time you shop for supper. When you’re picking up your organic burgers or grilling your own, remember to bring on the big, bold red Bleasdale Langhorne Creek Cabernet Shiraz 2006 . This wine has lots of robust fruit and peppery spice to hold its own with juicy, beefy flavors. The toasty-smoky flavor from the barrel complements grilled meats. This smooth easy drinking red with vibrant red berry aromas that complement the spicy notes which are apparent on the palate. The minimal use of French oak gives the wine complexity and an elegant toastiness that integrates well with the juicy forest fruits characters. Bleasdale Langhorne Creek Cabernet Shiraz 2006 can be found at wines.com!

A Little History Lesson of Organic Wines...

Food Friendly Wine!
After grapes for Sterling Vineyards Chardonnay are harvested during the coolest hours, they go directly to press as whole clusters. The majority of Chardonnay, on the other hand, is barrel fermented in a selection of oak for rich depth and texture. Chardonnay ages for 12 months or more in barrel on its yeast lees. Select portions of Chardonnay for the blend may undergo malolactic fermentation, in which harsher malic acid is converted to softer lactic acid. Continual stirring of the lees gives the Chardonnay wines a creamy, toasty mouthfeel that complements their elegant, fresh fruit aromas and flavors.
The 2007 Sterling Organic Chardonnay shows a clear pale gold with aromas of green apple and stone fruit, with subtle notes of vanilla and baking spices. Flavors of Pippin apple, white peach, and nectarine are complemented by toasty, spicy notes from the judicious use of oak. A lighter style of Chardonnay that is very food friendly. This will pair well with various cheeses, grilled fish, chicken, quiche and pasta with clam sauce. It can be found online on wines.com!

Japan's Nigori is One of a Kind
The rest, as they say, is history. Since SakéOne's inception, the popularity of premium saké has boomed in the U.S. SakéOne is the fastest-growing sakéry in the U.S. Led by an impressive array of wine industry veterans, the company continues to grow exponentially. SakéOne now distributes its saké in all fifty states, Canada, the Caribbean, and South America.
There is something different about this rich, creamy certified organic Nigori. It warms our hearts and tantalizes our palates. This is the first of its kind. It is the first Nigori to be certified organic. Momokawa Sake Nigori has rich and silky layers of coconut and cream with big burst of fresh pineapple and a hint of banana. Lush fruit and spice aromas layer their way to big fruit flavors packed in a complex body and long, clean finish. This creamy white unfiltered sweet sake is kooky with coconut. It would be excellent to pair it with a spicy Thai, free range Chicken in Molé sauce, or a dark flavourless chocolate torte. Also, another perfect match is tropical fruits such as fresh papaya, mango and guava and should be served by shaking it well and it should be chilled. Curious?
