There is a 10% Discount on mixed or solid 12 bottle cases of wine!
This discount will be given at check-out. Wines that are already on sale will count towards the 12 bottle requirement, but these on-sale bottles will not be discounted any futher. Spirits are not eligible for this discounting.
Wines in this group were made from grapes grown in vineyards that are either certified organic, biodynamic, or 'practicing organic'. This last category includes a large number of viticulturists that use all of the practices of 'certified organic' vineyards, but have resisted certification for cost or philosophical reasons*. Many of the early problems of organic viticulture have been overcome, particularly in arid climate regions; the prevalence of fungi and other unfriendly micro-organisms are generally less for dry environments than for humid ones. Mid Valley Wines stocks many of the ubiquitous organically-produced wines from California, but for reasons of cost and style diversity, we have been finding ourselves in a pattern of frequently recommending imported "organic" wines, some from well-known regions or varietals (Chianti, Pinot Grigio, etc), but others from unfamiliar regions or grapes that are consequently less expensive.
* Some of the objections of viticulturists to becoming certified include the belief that such certification is beside the point (their goal is 'sustainable agriculture'), resistance to the bureaucratic requirements for certification, or the grower's belief that certification does not provide any marketing advantage.
