From Biodynamic to Vegan, & Organic each Wine in the Organic Cellars Portfolio is not only a great wine but "good for you"!!

Brian Cuddy (owner & importer of The Organic Cellar) grew up in Canada working in the food and agriculture industry. He was thoughtful of the foods he consumed and how closely related farming practices were to our overall health. But not until a fateful trip to Italy, for work, did he fully grasp and appreciate organic farming practices in regards to grape growing were. After spending time with Italian winemakers and saw the health benefits to Organic Wine, his path was forever changed. And The Organic Cellar was born in 2009. Brian immediately began curating a portfolio of the best organic, vegan, and biodynamic wines he could find. Using the network of farmers, growers, and winemakers he had grown a relationship with throughout his time in Italy. He was able to combine his passion for sustainable and organic farming with his love of wine and now uses this platform to educate wine drinkers on the benefits of choosing to drink organic. Brian says "We believe good wine comes from good grapes, and that good wine can be good for you too."

A note about the wines being presented for the evening:

Jayson Pahlmeyer of the famed Pahlmeyer Wines began his winemaking by partnering with 55 acre winery in south east Napa Valley. The rest, some say, is history. With the release of the first 1986 Pahlmeyer Propietory Red being anointed 94 points by Robert Parker, the astonishing track record of Pahlmeyer was launched. About Wayfarer wines, "Wayfarer is the manifestation of a remarkable place, masterful winemaking, and the drive to go to extremes to create something truly exceptional. After nearly 30 years as an acclaimed Napa Valley vintner Jayson Pahlmeyer became increasingly entranced by the wines of Burgundy. 'Every oenophile eventually gravitates to the wines of Burgundy,' he says. In the early 1990s, Jayson began seeking out the finest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vineyards in the world... Though these iconic vineyards faded from his dreams, Jayson knew that, eventually, the perfect site would present itself. He just didn’t realize it would be six years later in the remote hills of the Sonoma Coast at a small farm called Wayfarer."
