Ten Delicious Organic Wines

The organic food method has been around for decades now, and the wine industry is starting to get on board.

Here's a list you can use as a starting point for organic and biodynamic wine, as well as a rundown of what the terms on the wine labels really mean.

So, grab a healthy meal from an organic-oriented store like Whole Foods (WFMI Quote), then take your Riedel tumbler from Williams Sonoma (WSM Quote) and do a toast to your health (and to that of the Earth)!

Alma Rosa Winery, Chardonnay
More than 3,000 cases of the 2006 Chardonnay were produced by the husband-and-wife team Richard and Thekla Sanford, who created Alma Rosa Winery, which focuses on organic farming and sustainable agriculture. It's a really good "food wine," says Trey Starnes, of Wine Specialist. The region produces "buttery wines" with a little more acid, which would go well with chicken or lobster.

Bodegas Vinos Pinol Sacra, Natura
The 2005 vintage received a score of 89 points out of a possible 100 from the Wine Advocate. The wine is a blend produced from Carinena, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Tempranillo. "A kitchen sink of a wine" this is perfect for burgers, says Jonathan Hoehn, national wine buyer for Wine.com.

Bonterra, Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2006 vintage uses organically grown grapes aged in oak barrels for 13 months. The varietal contents includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Petite Sirah, Malbec, Zinfandel and Merlot.

"It's a fantastic BBQ wine that's lower in tannin and higher in oak," says Rob Rutledge, a wine buyer at Wine Specialist. It may go well with "burgers or hot dogs" from the grill.

Domaine Galus, Costieres de Nimes
This French wine is made from Grenache Noir, Syrah, Cinsault, Mourvedre and Carignane. It has "enough structure to deal with olives," says Elizabeth Decoursey, manager and wine buyer at The Greene Grape in Brooklyn, N.Y. She says it works well with Mediterranean dishes, flat breads with olive oil and pizza.

Grgrich Hills Winery, Cabernet Sauvignon
It's a typical Napa cabernet, says Hoehn. "It's dense" and anything "hearty like steak or BBQ can be paired" with this wine.
