    The Last Month to Enjoy a Fun Summer Party, with Kind of Wild Vegan and Organic Wines!

    Feel good heading into the weekend drinking wines you can feel good about. Well, it is always feeling better to drink wines with friends. September is literally the last month to host a fun Summer party. No matter in your backyard or by the pool. You need good wines to make it a real good party. The good wine means – with every glass you pour you can feel great knowing you are enjoying delicious wines that are not only free of unwanted additives but are supporting organic growers all across the globe!

    Kind of Wild is a globally sourced, organic and vegan certified direct-to-consumer wine brand in the USA. The collection is a portfolio of six organic wines sourced and crafted from wine-growing appellations in France, Spain, Italy, Austria, Argentina, and Chile.

    Over the last 40 years, Kind of Wild has been working to build relationships with the world’s finest organic growers. They believe in providing these growers with a fair wage, and in turn, they treat the planet fairly. Organic growers help the soil remain healthy, creating a habitat for infinite microorganisms that contribute not only to healthy soil, but healthy air and water as well.

    Kind of Wild has torn the label back and ventured into the wild to return with this collection of world-class wines made with organic grapes. They have all been buying organic produce and other naturally sourced foods. They have tasted the difference and felt better for it. But it seems finding exceptional wine made from organic grapes is a little harder. That’s why Kind of Wild was started.

    Syrah-Grenache Rosé

    The perfect pairing for a warm summer evening? French Rosé! Packed with fresh energy this wine will welcome you into a truly Mediterranean experience! Kind of Wild discovered this distinctly chic Rosé from a 3rd generation female winemaker in the South of France. It’s truly a Mediterranean experience — superbly fresh, with energy and verve. There are layers of watermelon, cherries, and strawberry fruit, accented by notes of rose petal and minerality. It will have you daydreaming you’re cruising the riviera soaking up a pink sunset silhouette sparkling over clear waters.

    Sauvignon Blanc

    Get outside for the afternoon with a bottle of superbly fresh Sauvignon Blanc! Even better stock up with a few bottles, and set yourself up for whatever occasion comes your way next. A guaranteed way to brighten up your week. This is a quintessential Sauvignon Blanc from a unique and mostly unknown corner of Chile, quite close to the Pacific Ocean. It will have you wondering where this place has been all your life. Platinum in hue, this zesty Sauvignon Blanc seduces with bright aromas and flavors of fresh peach, mandarin blossom, chamomile, and jasmine – distinct flavors that evoke its coastal origins. Pack a few glasses and buy an alpaca for this mouthwatering adventure.

    Grüner Veltliner

    With summer is till here there really is nothing better than getting together, enjoying some fresh air and most importantly… drinking good wine! This zippy Grüner Veltliner comes from a young and dynamic multi-generational family winemaker in Austria. Racy and exotic, with a deep golden hue and aromas of sun-kissed citrus, schist and limestone. The palate shows lemony overtones, racy acidity and white pepper spice. It will transport you to the Alps and have you yodeling from the hilltops during your ski après.

    Montepulciano d’Abruzzo D.O.C.

    Go ahead, invite your friends over for a dinner party. Kind of Wild stumbled upon this lovely and expressive Montepulciano hailing from the back of the boot, right off the Adriatic Sea. An exhilarating bouquet of ripe cherry mingles with dried red roses and spice notes. The palate shows juicy length which develops with a toasted oak finish. Lay back in your hammock and shoot the breeze and you’ll be saying “tutto bene” like a local.

    Protect our planet with your choices — even something like grabbing a bottle can make an impact!

    There is a popular saying among winemakers that goes: ‘great wine starts in the vineyard.’ This is because the world of wine is centered around the concept of terroir. Terroir is how a particular region’s climate, soils, and terrain affect the taste of wine. No two winemaking regions are the same. There can be a myriad of differences between two vineyards that are right next to each other!

    Terroir also takes into consideration the impact of the human hand. Winemakers influence the wine in different ways. This includes vine training, irrigation practices, canopy management, and pest control. The role of the winemaker is similar to a chef when provided with ingredients: the result depends on the skill. Kind of Wild wines believes the secret to achieving the optimal result is to respect Mother Nature’s gifts and not mess with them unnecessarily. For us, this all starts at the source: the soil.

    Better Fruit for Better Wine

    Kind of Wild founders Adam and Jordan Sager reach for organic produce and other natural foods when providing for their families. It was a natural transition to bring their passion for all things organic into the winemaking philosophy. This is why Kind of Wild has committed to exclusively using organically grown grapes to produce our high-quality wines. Kind of Wild donate a minimum of 1% of their sales to organizations such as Kiss The Ground + Organic Farming Research Foundation that support the expansion of organic and regenerative farming.

    Globally Crafted Wines For Your Lifestyle

    It’s time to enjoy wines that align with your values and can join you on your health journey!
