What exactly is a Frankenvine?\u00a0Did you know that there are over 150 legal chemicals that are added to wine to do everything from creating taste, texture and sight to preserving and speeding up the fermentation process? Did you know that these chemicals do not have to be labeled?<\/p>\n
Conway’s winery has invited studies<\/a>\u00a0as to the nutrient density of his soil\u00a0from prestigious universities such as UC Davis and Cal Poly. His claims about the quality of his wines and the quality of his soil are documented at\u00a0his winery and on his website<\/a>. He calls it the “blood test” which he feels is so important when talking about quality wine.\u00a0He challenges any winemaker to disprove his claim that his winery is the “only winery in the world” making truly natural wines.<\/p>\n Click on the link below to hear this fascinating and controversial interview:<\/p>\n SHOW NOTES:<\/p>\n Carmody McNight Winery<\/a> This show was brought to you today by:<\/a>Food Integrity Now spoke with\u00a0Gary Conway, artist, former actor and a three-decade viticulturist, farmer and owner\u00a0of Carmody\u00a0McKight\u00a0Winery<\/a>.\u00a0 So what exactly is Conway talking about when he talks about Frankenvines? Conway explained how when the grapevines are grafted and hybridized, the nutrients from the soil\u00a0are blocked and thus create a nutrient-deplete beverage that no longer remotely resembles the wines of our ancestors. He compares this process to that of\u00a0our GMO foods<\/a>–which are also nutrient deplete! He speaks about the history of wine making, which is as old as\u00a010,000 years and how it has\u00a0been forgotten. Conway claims that the\u00a0wines of today have been so industrialized and the soils have been chemically\u00a0fertilized, that wine really isn’t wine–it is more of a wine-like beverage. He explains how the quality of the mass-produced wine has little to none of the health benefits that most of us associate with wine.<\/p>\n
