Wine Glass: Full

A wonderful website and newsletter just came to my attention directly from the writer herself, and I was instantly fascinated with an article on organic wines--loads of information, and even available on podcast! I'd been asking around a lot lately about people's experiences of organic wines, and what the 'sulfite-free' meant to them, if anything. This article explains everything. Natalie McLean's site and newsletter, Nat Decants, is clearly an excellent reference --there are links to books, guides, even movies; a glossary; a lengthy, and I imagine, very complete chronological list of suggestions ranging from 'vintage' to 'values'--and many more inviting links I've yet to uncover. And she has a book! This looks like an excellent late-summer read, when I have time off from school. As a wine writer, speaker, and judge, as her biography states, she is clearly presenting a top-notch perspective. And I even note a sense of humor. She's not afraid to slog along with sipping and spitting. I like that.
