Organic Wine – drinkability on a budget

You should write what you know about… right… or at least things you have an opinion of? Well I can say I know what I like when it comes to wines under $10. Often that applies to what is currently being poured into my glass, but it has to make the cut to come home with me more than once.

The first thing I look for in a wine priced under ten bucks is the word organic or biologic on the label. I know some folks who look for wines with no sulphites, not a bad idea, especially if you are sensitive to it. Morethanorganic has an excellent post on sulphites here. I find that a lot of inexpensive organic wines are really very nice to drink. I know, it sounds like I’m not very picky, but I know what I like and I like to keep it simple.

What got me thinking about this again was my latest find, a Chardonay from Finca Flichman of Argentina. It’s a 100% Chardonay for only $5.99 a bottle. Yummy.

(from the label) Characteritics: Rich and complex yellow green colours. Floral and tropical fruits aromas merged with the presence of wood. In the mouth it is balanced, full and very long to the palate.
