For several thousand years grapes were grown and wines were made without the assistance of pesticides and inorganic fertilizers. A few folks from Colorado wondered why they could get wonderful organic wines in Europe, but not in the United States.  They discovered that many small family owned wineries in Europe did not "go organic," they simply were growing grapes and making wines without changing what their families had done for generations.  Thus, was born Organic Vintners, dedicated to bringing wonderful organic wines from around the globe to your table.  You no longer need to trade health benefits for the joy of good wine.  You can have both!
