Peter; if you’re looking for a good Organic to add to your collection, I just had one last night. It was a 2006 Les Béatines Rosé from Au en Provence. From speaking to the seller (I bought it at Borough Market in London), the winery is very small and has a very low yield. The rosé was a mix of Grenache and Syrah and was a lot better than I expected for a biodynamic, organically-grown wine. Not that I was sceptical about the quality, it was just a surprise. The wine had a nice fruity smells of spring nose and was the perfect antidote for the sudden dip in the weather. Hi.

You have acknowledged that "the majority (Organics) are of a quality which would not encourage a new organic wine drinker to want another glass". In Jacob's defense, I get the impression that this is exactly what he was referring to as "lacking taste descriptors". Many people are simply left wondering why a more expensive organic wine wouldn't taste as good as a big box producer, like Yellow Tail. Certainly, you must realize this creates a struggle, as you mentioned, to "turn" the public opinion around. I commend you on taking on this task head first! Cheers! John Peter,
