If you're interested in bringing more organic and environmentally sound products into your home and kitchen, shouldn't that desire extend to the wine you drink? The Sonoma County-based Benziger Family Winery thinks so. You can learn more at the Wine & Cheese Place (7435 Forsyth Boulevard, Clayton) from 5 to 6:30 p.m. when Chris Benziger hosts a free tasting session and discussion. Chris and his family are dedicated to preserving the environment, and they adhere to Biodynamic, Farming for Flavors and organic wine-making practices — which means they create wines that incorporate the unique flavors of the grapes' specific environment without causing excessive stress on the land. Come taste the difference for yourself! Seating is limited. For more information on the tasting, call the wine shop at 314-727-8788 or visit www.wineandcheeseplace.com.
