From publications to packies, it seems that almost everyone has a wine club. And while many of their selections are great, it may be hard to tell what is actually in the bottles.

Fortunately, there is Dry Farm Wines, a wine-curating organization that selects only organic and/or biodynamic wines that have been grown with no forced irrigation and that have higher polyphenols, lower alcohol and sulfites, no sugar, and all the flavor of any other wines. So in addition to saving water and the environment, thsee wines also save lives (or at least do not detract from them)!

As many American wineries still rely on pesticides and other unhealthy practices, Dry Farm focuses on international wines and maintains close relationships with all of their winemakers (most of whom come from small family farms that, let’s face it, could use the support) to enure that they get the latest and best wines possible. They also test each wine in independent labs to ensure purity.

For those who want to learn more about Dry Farm wines and wine in general, they also created an online publication called A Matter of Tasre that can be found at www.amatteroftaste.com.

Shipping is free and they will also replace any wines that are not satisfactory for any reason, so there is little risk involved and a big, delicious, all-natural upside!

I know I have mentioned Old Friends Farm before, but as I am composing a story about honey, I thought it was a good time to revisit them.

While many honeys from Western MA are delicious in their own ways, Old Friends takes this sweet natural treat to new levels by adding turmeric, elderberries, and ginger. Not only do you get a great way to sweeten foods without spiking blood sugar, but you get some superfood sauce on the side! I love these award-winning creations all so much that I bought a combo pack just the other day!

In addition to these honeys, Old Friends also offers pure and natural spices and teas (some of which involve a percolating partnership with Full Kettle Farm), a ginger syrup that goes great on evertyhting from cereal to pancakes to yogurt, and even massage oils!

No matter what you try, it is a sure bet that Old Friends will become your new friends in the time it takes for a bee to waggle its tail.

In these days of germaphobia and travel restrictions, it can be difficult to find a safe and rewarding way to get out.

Fortunately, the folks at Tussock Jumper wines have come up with a solution!

In addition to offering a variety of varietals that are each made with authentic grapes from the appropriate regions (e.g., Malbec from Argentina, Chardonnay from France, etc.), each of which features the image of an animal from that region, then single-serving sizes also come with a sealed-on plastic wine cup, so you and your fellow travelers can each enjoy whichever wine you choose without concern from cross-contamination. And with 11 different wines, you can take a winey world tour without ever leaving your chair!

Whether you try the singles or the standard bottles, each comes with a guide to flavors and pairings and an intensity level, so you can be sure to pick the types of wines you like best no matter what you plan to eat with it.

Safe travels!
