drum roll please

In keeping with spring and green, we are going to take a whack at a VERY good set of organic wines  this Saturday 3-6pm.  Sometimes we get a little skeptical about "organic" as for instance skin care products need only to have one "organic" product in them to be labeled as such so we did our homework. But we checked this out pretty well and we will swear on our dancing shoes that this is the real deal.

First, a lot of wine is "organic" in that someone isn't dumping gobs of goo on them each year. Wine folk are very careful about this. VERY CAREFUL. Fact is, a lot of the wine from old vineyards is pretty much as pure as the driven snow...and if you just take a second to think about it....an old established vine, perhaps burrowing down 20 feet...well you get the idea.

A vineyard named YB or Y+B Wines (http://www.ybwines.com) has come out with a selection from which we are going to try three this weekend.  We've sent a few octobottles (bio-degradable 8 sided containers) home with close friends to get their opinion which we will post here.

We very much like the idea of this. Searching all over for organic vineyards and making what is reported to be an excellent product with no "footprint" - well it strikes our fancy and to use the parlance, we are "all in" on this. 

More on this. One of the octobottles features an organic from Spain, another from Argentina...well you get our drift.  Come put some dance in your step, some green in your life, and let a smile be your umbrella (8 sides of course).

In honor of one of our selections, here's a little toe tapper from Spain. Get those dancin' shoes a jumpin'.
