For thousands of years, Italians have said “Festeggia il Vino!” which means “Celebrate the Wine!”  Even the ancient Egyptians saved wine for royalty, leaving ordinary people to drink beer.  Wine has changed over the years. Many of today’s wines are full of additives and other things that give you that morning-after headache! Suzanne’s Natural Foods is excited to talk about some of the new exceptional wines we are featuring right now.  Have a look…or a taste!  Cheers!

Shannon Ridge Winery, California

Located in Lake County, California, thirty-five miles north of Napa, Shannon Ridge is a favorite with customers and employees alike.  Surrounded by wildlife, the grapes are grown in volcanic soil off the shores of Clear Lake.  The rich soil produces a superior flavor and quality that is hard to find at this price.  This wine is a favorite – try it soon!

The Wonderful Wine Company, California

Clean! Clean! Clean! Did we mention this is clean wine at its best? That’s what you’ll find with this line of wines.  They like to say it’s sustainable from grapes to glass because they have an emphasis on packaging as well as grape quality.  Enjoy a lovely glass or two of your favorite with no worries about a morning-after headache.  Vegan-friendly and organically farmed, try a bottle or two with your next meal.

Lubanzi Wines, South Africa

Named after a dog who followed two men on a mission trip backpacking for six days across the South Africa Wild Coast, this wine is committed to delivering real and meaningful social impact while providing an outstanding and tasteful experience.  This Fair-Trade wine delivers 50% of its profits back to the people who make it and is a Certified B-Corporation.  Make a difference while you enjoy its smooth, bold flavor.  Packaged in cans, it’s a different look but great taste. Cheers!

Wildman Pet Nat Wines, South Africa

Meaning “naturally sparkling wine made from the ancestral method,” these are an imported, small-batch pleasure in a bottle. Suzanne’s carries both the Astro Bunny and the Piggy Pop. Sourced in South Africa with no additives which means no need to shake before opening. Very pizza friendly, so these wines make the perfect addition to your weekend (or weekday) plans. Serve chilled!

Koval Spirits, Chicago

Crafted as grain to bottle in Chicago, IL. While these are spirits and not wines, they still fit in as organic and made intentionally in small batches. All grains are sourced from Midwestern farmers, distilled in the Koval facility in Chicago using Lake Michigan water naturally purified through the charcoal method. Each bottle is Certified Organic and Certified Kosher. They are also a proud member of Slow Foods USA, promoting sustainability and preservation of traditional cuisine and techniques. These internationally acclaimed spirits are great for gifts… or yourself!

From California to South Africa, we have healthy and clean wines for every taste at Suzanne’s. Try one today!
