The wine world is waking up from fire, Covid, drought and floods and as one sign of its coming back to life is this weekend's stellar lineup off wineries pouring at the Zinfandel Experience in downtown San Francisco.
Organic participants include:
• Bedrock (their Sonoma Valley estate is in the process of becoming certified - other vineyards are typically not certified and/or not farmed organically because Bedrock does not own them)
• Dashe (Some of the Mendocino single vineyard wines are)
• Grgich Hills (all certified organic grapes and certified "Made with Organic Grapes" winemaking and labeling)
• Quivira - estate Zins
• Ridge (estate single vineyard wines only) (NOT PAGANI, for instance, which uses tons of Roundup - and which Robert Parker does not differentiate in that way, confusingly calling brands not specific wines green)
• Rusack - all estate
• Tres Sabores - one of the allstars for the ages, preserving precious old Zin vines in Rutherford
• Truett and Hurst (estate only, biodynamic grapes on those)
• Turley (estate vines are certified, purchased grapes from single vineyards are typically organically farmed when Turley controls the farming)
