Reviews of Natural White Table Wine
Hooray for Frey!
What a joy to discover a wine that doesn't make me feel bad. When travelling to the island of Cyprus, I drank local wines that were not adulterated to keep them fresh for a long journey, and discovered the joy of local wines. Most wines, with their added sulfites, have always made me feel sick. One small glass and I felt like I had the flu; the next morning was even worse!
Now that I have discovered the Frey Natural White, with no added sulfites and a great taste, I can enjoy wine the way it was meant to be. Interestingly enough, not every bottle tastes the same. The first bottle I tried about 6 months ago had a taste reminiscent of a fine French sauterne, then the next one was less sweet, but still fruity and good. Maybe they'll get it more standardized, but in some ways I hope not. Each bottle is a new adventure and has never been a disappointment.
I've been tasting organic wines since they started appearing on the shelves. Many are downright bad (though hopefully improving), and those from other vineyards still add sulfites. The Frey wines are consistently excellent. The Cabernet Sauvignon, which I think is biodynamic, is superb. The Zinfandel, also biodynamic, pales in comparison to the Cab., but pairs well with lighter foods.
Both the Natural Red and Natural White are a great find and priced well enough that I don't save them just for company. Thank you, Frey!

Frey
For a table wine, I was pretty impressed with this. It was mild, with hints of fruitiness, but not overbearing at all. I'm not typically a fan of whites, but I would definitely drink this stuff again.

Great white wine for red wine drinkers
I usually go for the red. I learned in college that a glass of red wine a day, with a meal, could help lower cholesterol. Somehow, that translated to a bottle with homework, but I digress...
I like this wine because it's not too sweet or too dry - it's very smooth, refreshing with a little umph to it that tasted richer (kinda buttery?) than I'd expected. Is it because it's organic? If you are going to drink white wine, at $13 a bottle, this organic wine is the way to go.

Good for swallowing
I'm not a sommelier or extensive wine taster but enjoy tasting wines at their source. This is a pretty good wine. It was vaguely fruity and not overpowering. I rate it 4-stars for being a) organic & sulfite-free b) in good taste and c) value priced at $12 a bottle. Apparently, available at WholeFoods.

White wine with notes of melon
I liked this white wine, but I don't think it was to my tastes, otherwise I would rate it higher. I could definitely taste notes of melon. The wine was dry; It was a blend, and it was obvious that the blend had a lot of chardonnay grapes in it.

Pretty drn good
I am not a big wine drinker, but I really liked this wine. It didn't bite me, and I like that. It was light, semi fruity, and just a fun summer wine. I actually was thinking about going out and buying a couple bottles for the weekend... and I never buy wine. I can't not give it 5 big orange stars.

I don't much like white wine, but...
This organic white table wine is a great summer afternoon drink. The blend of flavors makes it versatile and there are no added sulfites! Its from the North Coast of California, which makes it great as a local choice rather than buying something imported from across the globe.
