Thanks for covering the awards won by CCOF certified wineries. FYI the awards were not given by CCOF, but by the agency’s you reference. We were just celebrating our members success and recognition.

I also wanted to reach out and make sure you know about our upcoming Organic Wine Tasting Events. Let me know if you’d interested in going. Here’s some links to more information.

Also, did you hear about the recent peer-reviewed study that found that wines made from organically grown grapes averaged one point higher in Wine Spectator ratings than conventionally produced counterparts of the same varietal, appellation and year. More info on this here:
