Fantasy Organic Wine Cellar
posted by Mighty Staff
If you're looking to shape a wine collection around wines made with organically grown grapes, this list is a great place to start. Patty Lenartz of Brooklyn's Slope Cellars offers up a range of suggestions depending on how deep your pockets go. For those of you on a budget - she outlines a $500 starter cellar, she then shows you how to build on that toward the $1500, and $3000 level. Here is a peek at the whites she outlines at the $500 level - make the jump to see her reds and the $1500 and $3000 cellars:

2. Marcel Deiss Muscat d’Alsace 2001
3. Etienne Riffault “Seveldra” Sancerre 2002

What happened to the concept of aging wines? She mentions that organic wines can age as well as any (duh?) and then says that all of her "$500" picks are to be drunk now. I thought this was for a "cellar," not a "closet." Also, less critically, most well-made wines benefit from a year or two of repose before drinking.
