Beverage News: New Non-GMO Verified Wines!

By Katie Grandy


In preparation for Octobers Non GMO Month I have ordered some new Non GMO wines. In addition to the new wines I am excited to say that our Favorite organic brands, Frey wines and Pacific Redwood Wines, now carry the Non-GMO Project Verified logo! These are the only Made in America Non-GMO Project Verified wines! I have re-arranged the Organic Wine Shelf to highlight a section of Organic Non-GMO Project Verified wines!


The new varietals that we have are Pizzolato Moscato. This is a wonderfully light and sparkling Moscato. Also from the Pizzolato family we have a Pinot Grigio; this pairs great with vegetable dips, first courses with cooked vegetables, and fresh cheese. Next I brought in Tarantas Tempranillo Crianza, which has a deep ruby color and aromas of spice, clay, and marinated peppers. It has a dryish, medium body with moderate tannins. Then we have Biokult Gruner Veltliner with fresh, crisp citrus notes, lively acidity, and a clean finish. This one pairs well with spicy foods. Lastly I brought in Sofos Greek White; a blend of 50% Chardonnay and 50% Moschofilero with fresh citrus and melon aromas refined by white flowers and roses. It has an elegant, crisp acidity. These are wonderful new additions to our already great selection of organic wines, and now Non-GMO Project Verified! Come on in and try something new, or stick to an old favorite, knowing that you are making a good, organic, Non-GMO choice.
