Wellness Wines with Astryd deMichele

As a holistic nutritionist I have always guided my clients, my family and myself towards organic foods for the benefits of health and happiness. After completing my W-SET wherein I gained knowledge of the principals of viticulture and regionally important grape varieties of the world, the regions in which they are grown, and the styles of wine they produce, I became fascinated with organic wines. Through a combination of tasting and theory, I started to explore the factors that impact style and quality and what makes a wine that is categorized as truly organic.

It is my quest to seek out region by region curated wines that are produced by winemakers that adhere to the path of organic practices. I explore what makes a true organic wine, which processes need to be followed and ultimately provide a listing of wines that are the best of the best in this sometimes mis represented category.

I am currently in an exploration phase focusing on Californian wineries and will shortly bring you the results and recommendations of labels you will be able to enjoy and support.

See you soon, Astryd.

As a certified holistic nutritionist and lover of everything wine, I’d like to help guide you to better living through organic wines! With a background in holistic nutrition, health, herbalism, organic farming, and life coaching, viticulture was a natural addition to my life. When we engage in healthy eating, drinking and living habits, we intuitively seek more awareness. I find inspiration in beautiful organic wines, eating wholesome foods and living a life with love and awareness, compassion and joy – allowing the everyday to be honored and filled with quality experiences. My wish is to share my exploration into the organic wine world with others so that we can select wines wisely, be happy, and love life!
