I am all for the concept of organic wines but the truth is that all the ones I’ve tried have been, well, not good.  Grapes are one of the most heavily contaminated crops in the world in terms of herbicides and pesticides, and I don’t really want to be drinking those.  But I also don’t want to drink vinegar. 

Truly organic wines are made with organically grown grapes.  No problem there!  And they contain no added sulfites.  Well, this may sound all fine and dandy because added sulfites mean added chemicals.  (BTW- grape skins contain some natural sulfites, so you can never get 100% sulfite-free wine)  But the problem is that sulfites preserve the wine.  No added sulfites = much shorter shelf life.  Perhaps I’m a bit of a wine-snob, but frankly I’d rather have a few extra sulfites than a glass of vinegary vine.

So I’ve been in a greenchic dilemma trying to have my glass of red and drink it too.  Well, my solution came in a 750ml glass bottle, aptly named Tierra Divina (Divine Earth).  This Argentinean Malbec is created from grapes that are farmed sustainably and is 100% delicious!
