Question ID: 69411
Could you locate some wines shops, healthfood stores, etc that sell
organic wine in the Naples/FtMyers/MarcoIsland area of Florida. 
Sometimes the wines will be marked nsa (no sulphites added) sometimes
organic, sometimes both. Frey and Badger Mountain are two large
vinyards that produce a lot of organic wines.But any organic wines
sold in this area-that is where they are sold, would be appreciated.

Dear Lolly,

After working on your question for a few days, posting comments and
sending out e-mail inquiries, I have finally received excellent news.

I located this small wine shop in the Naples area:
“The Naples Wine Gallery”
 http://www.napleswinegallery.com/

An excerpt from their website:

“Our small wine shop in the heart of Naples has a wonderful selection
of fine wines for your drinking pleasure. In addition to very
competitive prices, we work hard to make the selection and purchase of
wine a pleasant one... it is a warm and friendly environment.
(..)
Please let us be your wine merchant of choice. We special order any
wine, and we deliver to your door.
Fred & Victoria Nader”

A few days ago I sent them the following e-mail:

“Do you sell organic wines or wines with no sulphites added? I would
like to buy these in your retail store in Naples. What is the exact
address? Thank you in advance.”

Today Fred Nader replied:

“Hi. I have access to a full line of organic/no sulfites added wines.
Please drop in or give a call at 403-9883 and we can go over them.

Our address is:
800 5th Avenue S. #101,
Naples, FL 34102.

I look forward to hearing from you.”

I didn’t give you this lead earlier as I wanted to be completely sure
that they carried the wine you required.

My keyword search in Google was:

“organic wine” +Florida
“organic wine” +Naples
“organic wine” +Ft Myers
“organic wine” +/Marco Island
“organic wine” +shops
“organic wine” +retail


I hope you enjoy your organic wine! 

Best Regards,

Bobbie7-ga

Hi Lolly2,

Amity Vineyards makes organic wines which are available in retail
outlets in many areas. To see if their wines are available in retail
establishments in your area, call their distributor in your state.
Your distributor will locate a retailer in your local area. If they
are unable to do so, or if there is no distributor listed for your
area, please call the winery at 1-888-AMITY66 (1-888-264-8966).
http://www.amityvineyards.com/winery/ordering.htm

Since I don’t live in the U.S., you can take it from here. The contact
information for the Amity Distributor in Florida for you to call is
the following:

Western Wine Merchants
Phone: 407-654-4628
Fax: 407-654-6418
185 Drennen Road, Suite 315
Orlando FL USA 32806

In addition, take a look at this webpage for a list of sources for
organic wines.

I hope this helps.

Hi

I received the following e-mail today from Mark..

"Our distributor in Florida is Western Wine Merchants,
and our contact there is Scott Parsons, 407-654-4628. 
He should be able to give you the information you
need.  They are based out of Orlando, so I am not sure
how large their presence is in your area.  Please, Let
me know if you have any problems finding the wine near
you, it is possible that we can ship direct to you.
thank you for your interest,
Sincerely,
Mark Retz
Amity Vineyards"
