Why shop small lot wineries?

Written by:  Michaele L Mason   8/5/2024

We all long for the good things in life. We want things to be genuine and not tampered by the outside world. We want to delight in growth, what God gives us through the soil, and how simply elegant the field looks when the vines burst with the grapes that give us beautiful wine. Things that bring us comfort to our senses and lead us to connections with people. Here at Sincere Wines Online, we look for the good things in the wineries and wine makers we choose to feature on our platforms.

Comfort to our senses: How do you know a good wine? Do you smell it first or do you go right in to the taste? Do you drink wine on its own or pair it with food? No matter your style when tasting, here at SWO we want you to know what good wine is all about. It’s about engaging all of your senses with the sights, the smell, and the taste of good wine.

Genuine: Is all wine made in the same manner? Do you like the flavor imparted by a new oak barrel or a clay amphora? Do you like the taste of young wines or those who have held the test of time in the bottle? Do you know the winemaker’s style and techniques that go into their wines to make it a product they serve their own family members? SWO strives to bring you the information that allows you to know more about the way the wines are made so you can learn what you like. This is so you can choose wines that are not only genuine in taste but are also genuine in technique.

Growth: What does the earth give to the grapes? Are the grapes watered regularly or are they dry farmed? Are there companion plantings to add nutrients to the soil? How does the farmer ensure optimal yields of fruit to provide the consumer with the best wine that’s not over-produced? SWO staff seeks to connect you as the consumer with the terroir. The connection to the earth generates a greater sense of union with it.

Connection to people: How do we connect to those around us? Connectedness to others is one of the key elements to a happy and well-rounded life. Sharing a meal and a glass of wine can bring us together with those around us. It can provide the start of a conversation that leads to the weaving of life and shared joy. At SWO, we’d like to spur you on to connecting with others through the love of wine.

Here at SWO, we hope to bring you to the wines that engage your senses. We want the wines to demonstrate some of the qualities that we want to see in ourselves- genuineness and growth. Through this we hope you are able to connect to those around you in a new and exciting way…cheers!
