Local retailers stock vegan wines from Frey Vineyards
Referring back to our article Nov 7th 2003, "The Hunt for Red October" we are happy to announce that there are now two new outlets in Tampa Bay that carry the Frey Vineyards selection of Vegan/Organic wines. They are the Natural Food Store in Palm Harbor and Albertsons Supermarkets.
We contacted Frey Vineyards in California and they affirmed their continued commitment to the Veg'n/ organic wine market. According to their web site, vegetarian wine is produced by a method that does not filter out wine sediment using a charred animal bone filter. This obviously takes extra time but the result is worth the extra effort. Taste these wines and we think you'll agree.
We chose a 1997 Frey Syrah. Syrah or Shiraz wine is known for spicy blackberry, plum, and peppery flavors that typify its north Rhone valley heritage. Its deep black currant fragrance and spicy undertones combined with the deep ruby/amber color told us that we had a true Rhone clone. This Frey Syrah has a slight tannic palate that is perfect conterpoint to a fulsome vegetable like braised Brussels sprouts, and as a dessert wine it is unbelievable with anything chocolate... recipe forthcoming.
