Stop by Friday Night August 20th to taste “true” organic wines.  These wines are USDA approved Sulfite free wine.  We will be tasting a Red Blend, a Merlot and a Zinfandel.

In the winery is where the difference between Organic Wine and Wine Made with Organically Grown Grapes is determined. Due to the US govt. requirement of the late ‘80s to note “Contains Sulfites,’ occasionally this has become the touch stone of processing to determine what is organic and what isn’t. To carry the Organic Wine designation the wine must have no sulfites added and have less than 10 parts per million naturally occurring. Occasionally a wine made without sulfites has “none detectable” at the parts per million level and must carry the Sulfite Free wording, or make no mention at all.

We hope you can join us to learn more about these unique California Wines!

Cheers

Come taste the wines of Mendoza Argentina and learn about the Dolium Winery.

The word “dolium” is Latin for amphora, the distinctive bottles that the Classical Greeks and Romans used to store wine.  Like the Romans, who kept wine underground at a constant temperature throughout the year, Dolium is the first underground winery in Argentina to combine such ancient traditions with modern technology.
