We are excited to be offering you 3 new organic wines from two Mendocino County winerys.
Girasole Winery and Parducci Vineyards.
Girasole, Certified Organic and Vegan www.girasolevineyards.com
While the buzz around the term “organic” is relatively recent, Charlie’s organic farming practices date back more than 60 years. “Our organic practices in the vineyard benefit more than just the land and the wines. Our employees, our wildlife and neighboring farms also benefit from these practices by ensuring that our water systems and soils are free of harmful chemicals.
We were one of the first grape farmers in the North Coast of California to use water for over-head frost protection, a system developed in Israel and Germany in the early 1960’s. And today, we’re still picking grapes the way Charlie’s grandfather did over 100 years ago…by hand!”

We use 100% post-consumer (New Leaf) and tree-free (Kenaf) papers in packaging, point-of-sale, stationery, brochures and all other printed materials.
