Wine and Organic Beer

by David Wortman

Not long ago, connoisseurs scoffed at organic wines, after early experiments produced some less than appealing results. But concerns about the environmental and health effects of synthetic fertilizers and vineyard pesticides have led many growers to go organic or biodynamic, and, not least because of methods that enrich the soil, many of these vintages have first-rate quality and taste.

Product Picks: Extra, Extra: Favorite organic or biodynamic selections presented by wine consultant Aaron von Rock at a recent Green Guide tasting include:

Coturri 2002 Estate Zinfandel Sonoma Mountain ($30, www.coturriwinery.com, 866-268-8774)
