This is a great article, discussing sulfites and the controversy surrounding these additives. As Tony says in the article, regarding his choice to keep the organic label off his wines, "It confuses the public. Plus, a lot of wineries would piggyback on me. If a consumer has a bad wine and it's an organic wine, they could turn on the whole category."</div>Coturri Wineryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09311638832947970329noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4205261324923445701.post-61201939238870680492011-01-30T17:04:00.000-08:002011-01-30T17:04:25.379-08:00January 2011 New Releases<div style="font-family: inherit;">Check out our new releases!

Tony was invited by his favorite wine producers, the Bea family. Stay tuned--Tony might be venturing over to Italy soon!</div><br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Hello Tony, <br />
I am Giampiero Bea happy, son of Paul Bea happy of one of the wines from you more beloved: the Sagrantino Montefalco DOCG. Tank's very much, for this!</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
As you will remember, our method of job (philosophy) in the vineyard and in the wine cellar is very similar to your way: no herbicides, not fertilizers of synthesis, no assistant yeasts, not enzymes, not additions and controls temperatures, not filtering, no forced stabilizations. For these essential motives, I have founded in Italy a movement I am the name of True Wines, from the last year become Consortium [ www.viniveri.net ]. Our principal objective is that to make to know to the whole world this healthy idea of job, that first of all defends the nature and the identity of the tastes to make to come on the table a healthy drink for the one who fortune has to drink it.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
Among our missions there is to organize a fair of the "Natural Wines" during the same period in which the European greatest fair of the wine develops him and perhaps of the World: the "VINITALY" in Verona town.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
Such our exposure develops him to around 20 miles from the city of Verona.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
Currently I am also the President of the Consortium ViniVeri that organizes such event under the name "VinoVinoVino". This year the edition 2011 will have carrying out during the days 7-8-9 April 2011. I am very pleased to invite to participate you. I would feel me honorable to be able to see you among the exhibitors of this event that it intends to be a point of reference for the wines produced by the nature and not facts (built by the man). Waiting for to read soon you, dispatch kindest regards,<br />

<br />
First, read a great <a href="http://thirstmerchants.blogspot.com/2010/09/tony-coturri-marathon-tasting-at-thirst.html">summary</a> of Tony's tasting at <a href="http://thirstmerchants.com/index.php">Thirst Wine Merchants</a>, located in historic Fort Greene, Brooklyn. Michael Yarmark has been a Coturri fan for years and the tasting at the shop he co-owns was phenomenal (it went on for almost three extra hours!).<br />
<br />
Next, we have Tony's appearance at the Jenny & Francois Fall Preview. The <a href="http://mcduffwine.blogspot.com/2010/09/highlights-from-jenny-and-francois_19.html">first article</a>, from McDuff's Food and Wine Trail, gives a great overview of the entire event, reviewing nearly all the wines present. (Tony's review is near the middle of the entry, under the heading "It Wasn't an All French Affair.") This entry is part two, so if you'd like to read about all the wines, check out the <a href="http://mcduffwine.blogspot.com/2010/09/highlights-from-jenny-and-francois.html">first part</a> as well.<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://imbibenewyork.wordpress.com/2010/09/17/jenny-francois-selections-fall-portfolio-2010/">final article</a>, from Karen Ulrich's blog <a href="http://imbibenewyork.wordpress.com/">Imbibe New York</a>, focuses on Coturri wines, highlighting each wine that was at the Jenny & Francois Fall Preview. Karen offers great tasting notes and great comments on the event as a whole.Coturri Wineryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09311638832947970329noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4205261324923445701.post-72261568001455382952010-09-23T12:55:00.000-07:002010-09-23T12:55:06.149-07:00Wine and PoliticsCheck out <a href="http://www2.timesdispatch.com/lifestyles/2010/sep/18/i-booz0810-ar-509590/">this article</a> from the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

They are being replaced by young and open-minded wine buyers who have open palates and have for a largely extent grown up in households that have embraced organic and natural food products. These young people have a better understanding of what I am doing. And don’t have the provincial attitudes of the old. Also they tend to by more adventurous and have tasted more wines from all over the world. The young have open palates that go beyond the normal and conventional wines of the older wine buyers."<br /><br />Read her whole <a href="http://www.mydailywine.com/2010/06/interview-with-tony-coturri-california.html">blog post</a> for more of the conversation.<br /></div><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-size:100%;"></span></span></div>Coturri Wineryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09311638832947970329noreply@blogger.com0
