What goes together better than excellent wine and fabulous cheese? A perfect holiday gift- a basket filled with four bottles of organic wine from The Organic Wine Company and a gift certificate for cheese from the Bobolink Dairy.

It's in the wine- Carefully handcrafted in small family wineries where respect for nature and tradition is foremost, all of the Organic Wine Company's wines are earth friendly -- that is, they use no pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers and only minimal amounts of natural preservatives such as sulfur dioxide.

And It's About the Cheese: The name "Bobolink" is derived from a small bird that lives in open pastures, like the ones at Bobolink farm.

Designed to nourish the body and the spirit, Bobolink's cheese is made from the milk of 20 mixed-breed, grass-fed cows.

Because of its proximity to New York City and its vast 200-acre pasture, Bobolink is an important center for promoting grass-based, sustainable, profitable, family-sized dairy farming, which offers an alternative to the industrial, confinement-based farming practices that have became ubiquitous in the late 20th century.

Bobolink hopes to inspire a new generation of chefs to demand and farmers to produce high quality artisanal cheeses made from the milk of well-treated cows that graze on ever-fertile lands in developed and developing countries.
