Organic Wine Works

Before Talli and I went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium the other day, we made a quick stop at Hallcrest Vineyards & Organic Wine Works. Talli and I went because it was on the way to the aquarium and it is the oldest organic wine producer in the nation. I heard about the winery on a podcast that I've been listening to lately, A Guy, a Girl, and a Bottle. It's a beginner's wine podcast. I've been mainly listening to it to learn about what's close by where we live. While at the winery, we focused on the organic wines and actually eschewed most of the non organic wines. I have to say that the wines were very good. They had very distinctive flavors that even I could sense with my very untrained palate. Talli and I agreed that we liked the wines, so we picked up four bottles. We bought a bottle of the Pinot Noir, a bottle of the Zinfandel and two bottles of the Notre Terre. Why did we pick up two bottles of the latter? It was much cheaper. It wasn't quite as good as the other two, but still very good and definitely a good value. According to the wine pourer, they are in talks with Trader Joe's to have their wines carried there. I'm definitely looking to the great prices and the convenience that we'll get with TJ's carrying them.
