Comments on Frank's review of Cabernet Sauvignon
Not always organic--but walks the talk
This is really an addendum to the review below--Fetzer does make a very good, inexpensive wine, and grows its grapes organically. However, due to the large quantities of wine it produces (you can often find it in Trader Joe's across the country), it buys grapes on the market to mix with its organically grown grapes, and these it buys are not always organic. That said, Bonterra, which Fetzer owns, is all organic--in fact biodynamic, which involves full moons, cow horns, and strange misting processes. And the company absolutely walks the talk; its former President, Paul Dolan, was a strong advocate for organic winemaking and sustainable business practices, and wrote a book about his experiences: True to Our Roots: Fermenting a Business Revolution.
