Hello:

I am allergic to the sulfites in red wine. Are the wines low in sulfites, and are they sulfite free? I am pure Italian and grew up with wine at the dinner table every night. As you know, wine goes hand in hand with delicious Italian food.

If so, can you please recommend a bottle I can try.

All our wines have a minimal amount of sulfites in them as it is very difficult to do completely without !
We have a Muscadet without Sulfites and a dessert wine Cartagene also. And we have recently found a good red in France that wil be there in a few months.
However most sensitive people are very happy with our wines and discover that it is probably something else that bothers them in conventional wines! In any event we have thousand of clients in your case (my sister is highly sensitive too) and the consensus is there! Give them a try and I will refund you if you don’t find your happiness in our line! It is really up to your taste, you can find pleasure with the Venbtoux at $10, the Veronique at $14, the Cotes du Rhone Pouizin at $16, a Syrah Janiny at $19 etc.

Our wines are meant for the table and this is how we enjoy them ourselves!
All the best

Hello Michel,

What wonderful wines!! I have a couple of severe gastro intestinal problems. Your organic wines do not cause me any distress whatsoever. I find they are “clean” on the tongue and leave no after effects such as headaches or stomach upsets. Since I prefer the red wines, this has been a totally new experience. I simply cannot drink regular red wine and, consequently, am very pleased to have happened upon your products. My congratulations to the producers of the wines and to you for making them available at such good prices!

I recently ordered several wines from you. Among them was a bottle of Domaine de Caillan Viognier 2003. When I opened this bottle, I was surprised to find it almost amber in color with a stronger, more unusual flavor than expected from a viognier. Is this common for this particular wine? I'm concerned that the bottle has started to turn, and don't really know what to do with it.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I had the same experience with this vintage recently which means that it is starting to oxidize. It is definitely your call, was it drinkable and ok or simply past its time? These wines are meant to be drunk with a couple of years of their bottling and can last more ..or not, depending in part on the quality of their cork .
It seems that yours was gone, in which case we’ll be happy to replace it with a 2004 at the next opportunity. (We are actually drinking the last bottles of 2003 ourselves and my mother loves it, when it’s good!)
