S’MORE WINES
Tonight, we are going to taste through wines with alternative packaging that are perfect for camping and going off road. In fact, that’s what the first three wines we’ll be tasting from producer Fuoristrada means, “off road”! Founder of Monte Bernardi Michael Schmeizer was drawn to organic farming because he wanted his kids to be able to eat a grape off the vine without fear of chemicals and was ultimately drawn to TetraPak packaging because of the incredible lowering of carbon footprints associated with wine production, and well, the production of just about anything. There is an adage that 95% of wines in America are aged in the backseat on the way home from the store, so why TretraPaks? Well, these cartons are 100% recyclable, use 54% less energy, create 80% less greenhouse gasses, produce 60% less solid waste volume, and have 92% less package weight compared to 750ml bottles, resulting in less gas being used in shipment. Kinda nuts, right?
Lastly, we’ll be tasting a red blend from Marche, Italy that’s, get this, THREE LITERS. Borgo Paglianetto wines are vinified with native yeast, certified organic and just plain good in any vessel!
