Orange is Natural! Promoting Natural Wine is a cause that this website, Restaurant Dining Critiques is very supportive of. We believe in using as few additives in wines and organic if possible.
SPQR is excited to be part of San Francisco’s natural wine week http://sfnaturalwineweek.wordpress.com starting on Monday August 23rd. Supporting “Natural” wines is something that comes naturally to SPQR as most of the wines they pour tend to favor little manipulation and/or organic wine making practices. However to further celebrate natural wine making week they are emphasizing a class of wines often referred to as “orange wines”. “Orange wines” are made by ultra purist wine makers with a philosophy of practically zero intervention or manipulation. During Natural Wine Week they will also be honoring natural women wine makers by pouring the ‘Aretha’ flight named for the song “Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman”. Orange is a color said to promote happiness so please join SPQR and get happy with orange wines!
