Discovering New Organic Wine Favorites

July 12, 2019

Recently we came across Millesima USA when researching organic wine and it’s become a very helpful resource for our ongoing search for new organic wines to enjoy with family and friends. Millesima USA is the American arm of Bordeaux-based Millesima SA, a leader in online sales of European fine wines. They also have a wine boutique in NYC that you should definitely visit the next time you find yourself in the Upper East Side of Manhattan. We’re planning a trip to NYC in the fall and this is on the top of our list of places to shop.

Her Cabernet Sauvignon is our current favorite especially since it’s super smooth and comes in at around $8 a bottle!

Our Favorite Wines For Any Occasion

It’s no secret that we love the wines of the Northwest so we were thrilled when Mercer Wine Estates from Washington sent us some of their delightful wines to try. Especially since in 2016 they won Washington Winery of the Year!

We’re impressed and excited to share our favorites with y’all just in time for summertime grilling, graduation parties, birthdays, moving, travel or whatever the occasion might be!

If we had to select a favorite Mercer wine we’d go with the Cabernet Sauvignon Horse Heaven Hills. We love the aromas of ripe cherry, coffee and rich cocoa. It’s well balanced and fuller bodied with a sumptuous mouthfeel making it elegant, yet powerful, and perfect for your next dinner party!
