What is No Sulfites Winemaking?
What is no sulfites winemaking you may wonder? Organic Wine is wine without added sulfites. Under the USDA National Organic Program, sulfites are a synthetic food additive. They are not allowed in organic wine or any other certified organic food products, such as dried fruits, jams, salad dressings or juices. At Frey, all of our wines are made without the addition of any chemicals, including sulfites during the winemaking process. Uncork the organic!

Katrina’s Perennial Flower Garden
The vision for Katrina’s perennial flower garden on the Frey Ranch started long before Katrina arrived in California. She grew up in Michigan, enjoying the blooms of her mother’s flower gardens. She spent summers working with her grandfather at his perennial flower nursery in Vermont, and came to appreciate her family’s floral heritage. When Katrina first came to California in the 1970s, her impetus for the adventure West was to learn organic gardening with the eccentric green thumb, Alan Chadwick. Her love of flowers blossomed there in the cultivating of perennial borders, as well as her love for her future husband, Jonathan Frey, who was also working in the nascent organics movement.
