Frey Natural Organic Red Table Wine
Certified organic by Stellar Certification Services, the Frey Natural Organic Red Table Wine has no sulfites detected or added. The family-owned and operated winery uses organic grapes and ferments its wines with traditional yeast.

Stella Rosa Organic Orange Fusion
Bright and citrusy, this Stella Rosa white is the perfect brunch wine! Made with organically grown grapes hand-crafted in the winemaker’s countryside Italian vineyards, this tangy, semi-sweet, semi-sparkling wine is refreshing and zesty, with natural flavors of fresh orange. ($15)

With nearly twice the antioxidants as regular wine, this bottlewill make you feel good in more ways than one! This modern take on the Spanish classic makes for a superior-tasting premium sangria. The red tastes of pomegranate, blueberry, blood orange, and acai berry, while the white has mangosteen, peach, mango, and blood orange. ($11)
Chicken Run Red Blend
With a deep commitment to the land, plants, and animals, Chicken Run Wine follows special practices to make sure it produces the healthiest grapes possible, believing that when you give back to the earth, the earth gives back great wines. The vineyard where the grapes are grown has chickens that roam freely, eating pests and fertilizing the soil. This red blend is fruit-forward and jammy, with hints of raspberry and cherry. It’s spicy and peppery with a slightly dry finish. ($10)

The Pata Negra Organic Cava Brut is full-bodied with a fresh, clean aftertaste. On the nose, it has fruity notes of apple and citrus. This will pair well with spicy or smoked foods and all kinds of desserts. ($15)

Bonterra Vineyards was founded on the philosophy that farming organically produces the purest, most flavorful fruit. The winery and grapes are both approved by the California Certified Organic Farmers. Initially, this Chardonnay tastes rich and buttery, then finishes bright and clean.
