Spy Cider House and Distillery
Ontario (Canada)
24 x 473 ml
Never Say Never is made from choice organic apples that are harvested by whistle-blowers at our farm estate under the shadow of the quarantined Blue Mountains. Pressed on site, by detained operatives, the fruit reveals a level of complexity that can only be achieved from mature trees with roots that reach deep into the underground resistance.
A perfect blend of wit, charm, the tenacious pursuit of craftsmanship and exceptional estate fruit. Dry, crisp and refreshingly complex.

Domaine De Cristia
France (France), Southern Rhône (France)
12 x 750 ml
Breads, Cured Meat, Hard Cheese, Red Meat, Roasted Vegetables
The Domaine de Cristia Ventoux 2017 is a blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah. While the vineyards are situated in the southern Rhône Valley, the altitude and cooler temperatures of Mont Ventoux lend the terroir more northern characteristics of texture and finesse. It's a yin and yang type of Rhone wine, with pretty aromatics, lower alcohol content, and plenty of power on the palate. Fans of Côtes du Rhône and Châteauneuf-du-Pape should take a look at this outstanding value!

Tessari
Italy (Italy), Veneto (Italy)
12 x 750 ml
Rich Fish, Risotto, Salad, Vegetables, White Meat
This has a gorgeous, exotic and refined nose of linden/jasmine, lemon blossom, tangerine and peach. It is medium-full bodied, very tidy, lively yet rich with lovely concentration and focus. Nicely firm and mineral with bitter lemon on the finish. The length is excellent.
"The ’18 is so bloody amenable, still volcanic salty and never losing focus. So delicious, as always. Drink 2020-2024."

"Gini’s Soave Classico is a fantastic value, combining the concentration given by old vines (averaging 70 years of age) with a buoyant, floral freshness from the moderate 2018 growing season. A blend of fruit from five crus, each vinified separately in stainless-steel vats, the wine offers flavors of pear, yellow apple and green almond propelled by mouthwatering acidity that invites another sip, and then another glass."

"Vivid straw-yellow. Delicious aromas of herbs, lime, almond kernel and jasmine. Bright, dense and juicy, with a glyceral but vibrant mouthfeel and very pure flavors of green apple, pear and white peach. Finishes long and mineral. This is a knockout entry-level Soave that boasts sneaky concentration and extreme purity of fruit. Absolutely lovely and one of the better Soaves at this price point that I have memory of in quite some time."

Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe
France (France), Southern Rhône (France)
12 x 750 ml
“I’m not sure how the Bruniers produce Grenache with simultaneous pleasure, depth, power, finesse, and drinkability, but Pigeoulet is a great case in point. You will not find a better pound-for-pound value anywhere in southern France. The Brunier hallmarks of restraint, class, and typicity are all here in spades. In that way, their wines remind me of de Villaine’s wines in Burgundy.“

At WineOnline.ca, organic wine holds a special place. We appreciate the widespread appeal of organic wines and work with wineries around the world to bring our clients the top organic wines.
There is as wide a variety of organic wine types as there is of “conventional” wine types. Organic red and rosé wines are made with familiar varietals such as Cabernet, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, Grenache, Cinsaut, Syrah, Merlot, Tempranillo, Rolle, Malbec and Pinot Noir Gropello, Marzemino, Pinot Noir and Zweigelt. Organic white and sparkling wines are primarily made from white grape varietals such as Chardonnay, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc Sémillon and Pinot Grigio.
What exactly differentiates an organic wine from a conventional wine? Organic wine of course uses organically farmed grapes. For the fermentation and production of organic wine, preservatives like sulfites are not allowed at all in the United States. In the European Union the addition of sulphites in organic wine is permitted, but at lower rates than in conventional wine production.
People drink organic wine for lots of reasons. Some don’t want synthetic additives. Some appreciate that organic wines have less sugar and lower alcohol content. The environmentally conscious appreciate supporting sustainable organic farming and production methods. And for some it’s about taste. In a UCLA study of 75,000 wine reviews, organic wine came out on top in terms of taste.
Here’s an interesting tidbit. A number of conventional producers actually use sustainable, organic methods but choose not to go for the “organic” designation. Go figure.
Receive the best of all worlds. Feel comfortable about what you are drinking. Be happy you are supporting sustainability. And best of all, enjoy the quality. You and many, many others.
