Top 10 Organic Wines

For years, many vintners shied away from using the organic label because organic wines, in even the country’s finest wine shops, were relegated to one tiny section that was divided by neither style nor quality. But green is now a golden word and “o” is no longer a scarlet letter. While a few wine shops still cling to the organic shelf in hopes of looking hip to the eco-movement, most stores have moved the organics back to their rightful place among the other wines of their region or style. It has become so much a part of the wine business that you might not even realize your favorite wine is actually eco-friendly. You see, although we consumers sometimes forget, vintners are really little more than glamorous farmers. As such, they are among the most concerned of us all about the health of our planet and, most importantly for them, our soil. So while the industry works to protect our environment, we want to honor some of the forefathers and leaders in the organic movement with our list of Top 10 Organic Wines.
