If you’re a wine-lover who’s consistently found themselves stumbling around the wine section of Whole Foods wondering what new winery or tasting notes to try out—or what tasting notes even mean—you’re not alone. While many of us enjoy drinking wine with dinner or after a day that seemed to never end, sometimes it can be hard to determine what types of wine to buy. Unless you’re attending a tasting or doing wine-pairings at a restaurant, it can feel risky to buy an entire bottle of wine you might not even like. Lucky for wine-lovers everywhere, though, we rounded up the best wine subscription services for…

Cheers to summer sipping!

We love our environmental partners and are so excited to feature our latest kind of wild friend – Ecologi – in our Spring Journal! We recently had a chance to sit down with Linda Adams, Head of Partnerships at Ecologi to talk about some of the really great things they are doing. The conversation goes into several different topics from how they started to very specific detail on their mission. Check out the conversation below and to learn more about Ecologi, as well as the Kind of Wild forest, click here.

Kind of Wild is proud of our environmental partners because not only does it fulfill our mission of giving back to advance organic and regenerative farming, but also because they teach us so much about how we all can be better stewards of our planet. We recently had a chance to catch up with Caroline Baptist, communications manager from the Organic Farming Research Foundation (OFRF), and asked her a few questions about the current state of some important environmental issues and the work they are doing now to advance organic farming!

How to make the BEST vegan risotto you’ll ever try! This easy risotto recipe doesn’t use butter or cream, but is packed with flavor. A white wine and mushroom risotto that is perfect for the holidays or a cozy night!

This creamy dish is 100% vegan and one of the best dishes for the holidays! 

As any plant-based eater can attest, going vegan is fulfilling…but it can also be a bit overwhelming. From having to read ingredient labels really carefully, checking menus before agreeing to dinner plans, and looking up if shoe brands look real or faux leather/fur, being vegan can be a full lifestyle change, depending on where someone lies on the vegan spectrum.

The holidays will be here before you know it. Big deep breath. If you haven’t started shopping yet — don’t panic. We did the work for ya and are servin’ up lots of gift guides and an interactive, 3D shopping experience.

And in case you missed it, worldwide shipping delays aren’t making things the easiest this year. So we also rounded up the best gifts that’ll ship fast. We even have subscriptions and experiences your recipient can use whenever they want. Keep calm and gift on.

Calling all veggie HATERS! This is the dish to try if you’re trying to eat and/or enjoy more vegetables but have terrible flashbacks of soggy, overcooked, bland broccoli every time you hear someone say “eat your veggies!”

Been. There.

Which is why I created a Roasted Broccolini Salad with Lemon, Apricots, and Kale that contains some incredibly nourishing ingredients but tastes really good!

Meet my favorite no-cook summer dinner recipe: Rainbow Veggie Rolls with Peanut Sauce! I wrap my favorite veggies and tofu in rice paper with fresh herbs like mint and basil and roll it into a log. Then I slice it in half and dunk – not dip, but generously dunk – into an easy homemade peanut sauce that tastes like fresh lime, lemongrass, ginger, and chili.

It’s a delicious combo, and making this light and refreshing meal for dinner means you won’t have to turn on the stove or oven.

When it comes to headaches and hangovers, not all wines are created equal. Sure, drink too much of the stuff – it’s still alcohol, after all – and tomorrow morning is not going to feel great. We’re not about to claim that our wines are a unicorn that have mysterious powers, no matter how much is consumed.

Some wines, however, are better for you than others. Knowing what to pay attention to could mean the difference between a productive morning and a breakfast date with ibuprofen. And that’s happened to all of us, more often than we’d like to admit!

Globally sourced and sustainably farmed, Kind of Wild Wines puts the spotlight on regionality, focusing on collaborating with producers from Argentina to Spain. Read on to learn how we produce our wines from all around the world.

Kind of Wild was launched in 2020: a wild time in the world by any standards. Yet perhaps it was also as good a time as ever to launch a concept that connects winemakers and regions from all over the world to wine drinkers. As the first globally sourced, organic, and vegan certified direct-to-consumer wine brand in the USA, Kind of Wild is rooted in a spirit of collaboration.

A cheesy vegan baked spaghetti pie with homemade tofu ricotta, vegan mozzarella, and parmesan. It tastes a lot like lasagna – and it can be sliced and served in a similar way – but it’s much quicker and easier to make since there’s no layering. This Baked Spaghetti Pie is also very customizable – add in your favorite veggies, lentils, meatless meatballs or sausage, or throw in a handful of black olives for some salty richness that compliments the 3 cheese blend!

Why Are Some Wines Not Vegan?

An easy to make homemade Italian Ice or Granita made with fresh watermelon, sweet strawberries, and vegan rosé. It’s fruity and slushy and so refreshing! If you love popsicles, snow cones, or slushes you will LOVE this It’s fruity and slushy and so refreshing! Best part? There’s no need to have any special equipment like an ice creamer maker and it can be made ahead of time for the ultimate no-stress vegan dessert.

These wines demonstrate you can drink pink late in the summer and into fall.

Many wine drinkers associate rosé with spring and early summer-time drinking—those days when perhaps you’re floating around on the yacht or lounging on the patio or under the pergola. You’re probably not thinking of rosé much in August’s late, wistful days as the goldenrod, Queen Anne’s Lace and cool summer nights signal summer’s end.

But, you should. And the experts agree.

Rosé and summer go hand in hand. Warm weather, lazy beach days and fiery sunsets call for a glass of the pink, but with countless varietals and eye-catching bottles being released each year, it’s hard to know which ones to buy.

There is a popular saying among winemakers that goes: ‘great wine starts in the vineyard.’ This is because the world of wine is centered around the concept of terroir. Terroir is how a particular region’s climate, soils, and terrain affect the taste of wine. No two winemaking regions are the same. There can be a myriad of differences between two vineyards that are right next to each other!

From non-toxic nail polish for your hot-girl-summer look to the mouthwatering meat and seafood for your BBQ grilling needs, here is the ultimate product guide for everything you need to make this summer perfect.

In my meat-centric world, vegetables create some semblance of balance but are rarely lusted after like a chunk of  slow cooked pork or a well seared steak. But there’s something about grilled veggies that I find irresistible. The char from the grill, the caramelization of sugars, and the softened texture of things like squash, onions, eggplant, and peppers.

A Long Island pioneer winery brings us a top-notch crisp and juicy rosé to slake our thirst and cut through the summer’s heat. We also have a citrusy white from Sicily to match with lighter fare or seafood, reds from Australia and Spain to conjure the outdoors, and a new line of wines promoting organic viticulture around the world.

These Homemade Vegan Veggie Burgers will blow your mind! They’re incredibly flavorful and the texture is just right. Not too mushy, nothing artificial, and they’re packed with plant-based protein…and fiber! And vitamins! And a bunch of other good stuff but mostly, they’re just delicious and way better than store-bought veggie burgers! You’ve GOT to try these!

Wait. Isn’t all wine vegan? After all, it’s a drink that’s made from pressing and fermenting grapes! Read on to understand the benefits of vegan wine, and why you should consider making the switch – even if you’re not vegan.

Summer is here and we’re thinking about the lake, the beach, toting a picnic or planning a pool party. And good wine must be a part of the fun!

Wine made with organic grapes offers a range of sustainability and health benefits. Here’s why you should be drinking certified organic wine and how Kind of Wild is the perfect place to source them.

At a time that the world at large is struggling with the effects of Covid-19 and the wine world is grappling with the effects of US tariffs on wine imports from Europe, brothers Adam and Jordan Sager, who run wine import company Winesellers, Ltd., have launched Kind of Wild, the first globally sourced, vegan certified and organic wine brand to be directly marketed to consumers in the United States.

Kind of Wild Wines aims to become the first globally sourced, certified organic, and certified vegan wine brand that can be delivered directly to your door.

Organic vegan wine brand Kind of Wild Wines recently launched in the United States. The direct-to-consumer brand was created by brothers Adam and Jordan Sager, who run wine importing company Wineseller, LTD, to help consumers find high-quality organic vegan wine that can be delivered directly to their door

Meet Kind of Wild Wines. A new organic and vegan certified brand that delivers wine straight to your door. This is our WILD story.

Sometimes these are behind-the-scenes services that consumers may not realize, while others are new products or deliverables that are now at the doorstep or screen with regularity. A new line from Winesellers, LTD, a forty-two-year-old wine importing and marketing company in Chicago, has recently launched an offering with a bit of both.

A major aspect of wine, spirits and beer packaging in recent years has been to reduce its environmental impact through lighter packaging made from recycled materials. Those who can display career skills in sustainable design may gain a competitive advantage.

Such is the case for Kind of Wild, a new e-commerce brand of certified organic and eco-friendly wines.
