The Organic Wine Store is an online shop with a long reach: Italian wine from organically grown grapes, a quiet cellar, and drinkers in 42 states. More of the list is now made with no added sulfites, for drinkers who want the farm in the glass.
People want wine that tastes like where it grew. Raimondo Boggia has been buying that way for years: Italian growers who treat the vineyard as the point, and cellars that skip the usual additives. Organic, as this shop uses the word, is that work. It is not a government seal on every bottle.
Most of what organic growers do differently never makes it on the label. Boggia has said that was part of the surprise, and part of the job: taste first, then decide. The site is how a drinker in another state gets a bottle Boggia would have poured in his own restaurants.
Boggia, the Italian founder and a certified sommelier, has tasted and scored more than 10,000 wines. He opened restaurants in Los Angeles and New York, then built an online shop so those producers could reach a table far from the cellar.
There is no storefront to wander. You open the site, you pick from his list, and the wine ships from Pomona to 42 states. That is the whole idea: a serious Italian list, at home.
“The short answer to 'why organic' is this: because the best wines I have ever tasted were made by people who farm this way. Not for a certification. For the wine,” said Raimondo Boggia, founder of The Organic Wine Store.
The shop is at www.theorganicwinestore.com.
