Organic Pt3


It seems this organic wine has taken a shine to my taste buds. While walking through Tesco this evening, a newly refurbished Tesco with a very much improved wine collection may i add, a bottle of wine wine caught my eye with the label that not only said Cono Sur but in the corner organic. Im not a convert but i do like the earthy taste that i get and although this is a Cab and very young at 2007, the colour is very deep and stains the glass this must be the Carmenere typical for Chile and blends perfectly with Cab.

OK. No posts for over a month and then a deluge! What gives?
My class tonight was about the 'earthy' aromas (and other less polite descriptors) that you get in organic wines because of the lack of sulphur dioxide use. I think I'd rather drink cabbage water....bring on the SO2!!!!

Since you seem to seem to have a penchant for Organics,have you tried any of Charpoutiers wines.They are not strictly organic just very eco and astrologically(?)produced.They are generally Cote du Rhone and can be had for under a tenner at your local Oddbins.One things for sure they neither taste nor smell..of dogshit!
