There is guaranteed to be no more than 1 gram of residual sugar per liter of wine (or <0.15 g per glass). When wine is allowed to fully-ferment, the yeast eats all of the sugar. Here are some more benefits of choosing Dry Farm. Light, with a hint of fruit, high acid, and with the body of a good rosé, it would be a perfect swimming pool or brunch wine before bringing on the food.Why would you choose to buy Dry Farm Wines over conventional? First of all, no additives! Did you know that there are over 70+ additives (including thickeners and dyes) that are are approved by the FDA to be added to wines? This list can include animal products, dyes (including mega purple) and other things I’d rather not be in my drink. It’s a blend of 40% Grenache 10% Cinsault, and 50% Syrah in the place of the Mourvedre you find closer to the coast. It wants a light white fish with cream sauce or grilled vegetables for summer.Ģ020 Chateau Grand Boise Sainte Victoire Cote de Provence This pale pink rose was everything I want in a wine from the south of France. This lovely Chablis is crisp and stony with a hint of lemon and tart apple. If you think “Petite” means “lesser” you’d be wrong about this region. Petite Chablis is a separate appellation for wines in the area that surrounds the core vineyards of Chablis. Light, with great fruit and balance, this red has good minerality, and its lower alcohol makes it a perfect classic Italian sipper for an evening on the patio. Whether you’re looking for a gift for friends or a way to mix up your summer choices, these easy light wines might just fit the bill. The three wines I sampled in my box were delicious Old World offerings that hit a sweet spot with price and quality.
(Six reds will set you back $171 per shipment.) You can also change or cancel your subscription whenever you want. Depending on what you choose, wines will be anywhere from $101 to $320 per shipment. You can customize your selections by white, reds, rosés, and sparklers in offerings of 3, 6 or 12 bottles shipped monthly to quarterly. The wines were delicious, good quality and perfect summer drinkers retailing for an average of $20 a bottle. I could also find the white, rosé, and red online at regular retail to purchase again. My latest shipment included three wines from producers in France and Italy who are the sorts of small producers I discover when I travel. Most wine lovers would be surprised at how many less expensive wines are manipulated with sugar or other additives for color, richness, and flavor.Įven better, their wines (even the reds) are all at 12.5% ABV or below making them lighter choices for weeknight sipping. By skipping wines with additives, they automatically up their quality game.
Their biggest appeal is skipping added chemicals and sugars. However, the description is fitting at Dry Farm Wines and denotes how they select their offerings. Calling wines “organic” can be sticky since many old world producers in France, Italy, and Spain have produced wines organically for generations. Others, like my new favorite Dry Farm Wines, just tell you the quality and source of all their wines upfront then curate your box.ĭry Farm Wines works directly with producers to source organic wines without any sugar or additives. Some offer you a detailed online quiz I’ve found even that yields hit or miss results. Taking their cues from the popular customizable subscription box model, they’ve gotten very good at determining a customer’s tastes. With the popularity of home meal delivery subscriptions, wine clubs have learned a thing or two. Worse, you’d sometimes end up with those mysterious bottlings from a strange producer in Bordeaux or California that you could never quite identify… bottled as a “private label.” Press play to hear a narrated version of this story, presented by AudioHopper.Īfter a few months, you’d start to realize the wines just were kind of cheap or that they were closeout bottles or off vintages. Unlike wine clubs from wineries-usually joined in the wake of a great visit, and which often yield interesting or rare bottlings-these third party clubs always seemed sort of, well, disappointing. You pay a monthly fee to a third party-different than winery-direct clubs-and you receive a random set of three bottles to your door each month. You’ve seen them for years and probably even joined a few. The selections change all the time, but Dry Farms consistently delivers beautyĪ couple of months ago, a friend asked if I could recommend a wine delivery club.
