fitting wine into your lifestyle

Wines: Avaline White & Avaline Red

In our fifth episode of our Fitting Wine Into Your Lifestyle Series,  we talk about wine growing and winemaking practices to consider  by defining organic and biodynamic, as well as low intervention wines.

The wines tasted, by Avaline,  are both organically grown and made with minimal intervention.

Many in the wine industry say that great wines are made in the vineyard, which is why we focused this ep on growing practices, as well as winemaking practices. Listen to learn more and to determine for yourself whether or not organic or biodynamic practices matter to you!

Wines:   Kim Crawford Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc and Kim Crawford Illuminate Sauvignon Blanc

The Kim Crawford Illuminate Sauvignon Blanc is only 70 calories per serving and is a low alcohol wine. We taste test it against the regular Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc to compare as we talk about average alcohol, sugar and caloric content in wines and discuss how / why that may be an important consideration for you.

Our guest is Lee Elliott of Constellation Brands.  Lee joins us to discuss these two wines, the process for removing alcohol from wine, growing consumer demand for lower alcohol wines and more as we continue our series on fitting wine into your lifestyle.

Wines: Fresh Vine 2019 Pinot Noir & 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon

When considering what wines will fit into your lifestyle, it’s important to determine for yourself which factors are important to you. For some, world-view or food sourcing best practices are paramount, for others, dietary concerns or weight management are important to consider, for some, pricing and quality are primary.

In developing the concept of the Wine Taste Filter, we identified four different categories of the varying concerns most consumers have, which we are calling “mountains” and we understand each of these concerns isn’t for everyone, which is why we’re asking: which mountains are YOU willing to climb?

We want to help you identify your priorities when fitting wine into your lifestyle by giving you information and tools to decipher those crazy wine labels and marketing buzzwords to help you determine which wines fit those priorities.

Listen to hear us breakdown the categories and describe what factors fall under each. Keep following along on our "Fitting Wine Into YOUR Lifestyle" series to assist you to be more intentional in your wine selection and to make the most of your wine purchase power.
