This direct-to-consumer wine company, specializing in certified organic and vegan wines from around the world, formed through a partnership between brothers Jordan and Adam Sager, who come from a family with a long history in the wine business, as well as celebrity chef, best-selling author and television personality Katie Lee Biegel. The company became a member of the One Percent for the Planet in 2022, pledging to support the One Tree Planted and Organic Farming Research Foundation.

Ask Dave and Jenny Marrs, hosts of Fixer to Fabulous, to share details of a memorable renovation project, and they’ll no doubt tell you about the time they created a kitchen island with a lift-up top that led to stairs and a secret wine cellar below. For wine moments like these — or any time you’re enjoying your favorite HGTV shows — why not raise a glass and toast some remarkable renovations? Ahead, we pair wines with your favorite shows so all you have to do is grab a glass (and some friends) and celebrate. Cheers!

Autumn is harvest season, and how a crop is grown matters both to your palate and to the planet. With that in mind, more and more wineries are focusing on sustainable and organic viticulture these days, yielding a cornucopia of excellent choices for conscientious consumers. My upcoming book, The World in a Wineglass (Scribner, November 2023), covers this in detail, but here are a few to look for now.

Spaghetti with Yellow Tomatoes & Corn with a secret ingredient – magical miso! Katie is just living her best tomato life and this might be one of her favorite recipes ever. The tomatoes and corn are so sweet and the miso adds the most incredible boost of umami.  It’s amazing paired with a cold glass of our Kind of Wild Chardonnay!

Celebrity chef Katie Lee Biegel has the perfect pairing for any of her delicious recipes. On July 17, the Food Network star announced her involvement as a co-founder and partner in the low-calorie, zero-sugar wine brand, Kind of Wild.

Just because it’s summer doesn’t mean that you should only drink white and rosé wines. There are plenty of chillable red wines that are every bit as refreshing, and that have the additional benefit of opening up a whole new world of food-pairing possibilities.

For still reds, there are more options than you may think, and the eleven below are a great addition to any warm-weather table. They’re also terrific year round.

Get ready for the ultimate summer food: shrimp tacos! Katie Lee Biegel knows that nothing screams summer like these delicious tacos. Her secret? Adding a touch of sugar to the marinade or dry rub when she grills the shrimp. Say goodbye to overcooked shrimp and hello to vibrant, perfectly colored bites of goodness.

Katie Lee Biegel can’t get enough of this delicious creation. Get ready for a weekend menu that will keep you cool in the summer heat. Our dressing is the perfect blend of sweet and tangy flavors, complementing the crunchiness of bean sprouts, water chestnuts, peanuts, and Lo mein noodles. Get ready to indulge and enjoy every bite of this incredible salad!

Get ready to be blown away by this mouthwatering creation! A sprinkle of BBQ seasoning takes the salmon to a whole new level of flavor. And let’s not forget the irresistible crunch of a salty potato chip. This meal is an absolute knockout, guaranteed to leave you wanting more. Get ready to indulge in pure deliciousness!

Ask a Southerner about pimento cheese and the usual response is something like, “oooohh, I looooove pimento cheese.” Now, I’m a firm believer in the old adage of “if it ain’t broke, don’t try to fix it,” but I switched up the traditional recipe a bit by using goat cheese and smoked cheddar. Let me tell you, it’s a gem.

Kind of Wild Wines, the first globally-crafted, certified organic and certified vegan direct-to-consumer wine brand in the U.S. is proud to introduce renowned celebrity chef, best-selling author and award-winning television personality Katie Lee Biegel as partner and co-founder.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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!

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.

Here’s a list of interesting white wines to help in either endeavor:

Why Are Some Wines Not Vegan?

In 2021, the Sager brothers founded Kind of Wild, which is a direct-to-consumer wine company selling organic and vegan-certified wines produced by family-owned wineries. Since launching the venture, the Sagers have contributed to various environmental groups, and in 2022 they joined 1% for the Planet, pledging to donate one percent of Kind of Wild’s annual sales to support a variety of nonprofits focused on improving the environment.

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.

Best Rosé Wines and summer may go hand in hand, but don’t let this warm weather favorite fool you: Well-made rose is meant to be enjoyed year-round. Lazy summer beach days, crisp autumn nights and sunny spring afternoons 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.

That’s why we did the hard part for you and narrowed down the list to 50 very quaffable rosé wines and rosés.

Get ready to break out the ice bucket and toast to #roséallday season (which is every season in our opinion), because if there’s one thing you want to sip somewhere living your best life, it’s rosé. 

With more than 40 years of combined experience importing certified organic wines in the U.S., Adam and Jordan Sager had a head start. Leveraging their passion, expertise, and connections in the organic wine market, the brothers founded Healdsburg, Calif.-based Kind of Wild Wines in 2020. The direct-to-consumer brand sells organic, vegan-certified wines crafted by small family producers in top-tier wine regions.

Looking to please a crowd? This organic and sustainably made Malbec is a delightful savory sip. Bring it along to your next BBQ and serve with crowd favorites like grilled meats or BBQ chicken and salmon. This Kind of Wild Red Blend has a touch of Cab in it, but it’s the Malbec that makes the wine. It is soft and supple with a slight herb-forward nose. The palate is also soft with great natural acidity and a nice savory vibe. A win for sustainability and your palate.

Kind of Wild Wines is a global effort to showcase organic and sustainable winemaking from across the wine world. Created with the intention of showcasing sustainable winemaking around the world, Kind of Wild guarantees a 100% organic process for each wine it produces. This Malbec is blended with a touch of Cabernet and has supple and soft herb-infused flavors that give way to a smooth and tasty finish. 

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

This is the best Plant-Based French Bread Pizza Recipe to make for dinner! It’s a nostaglic, vegan-friendly pizza made with crispy ciabatta bread, lots of colorful veggies like green peppers, red onions and black olives and topped with homemade chickpea sausage. Everyone will love these crispy, cheesy French bread pizzas!

If you’ve been missing the uniquely tangy flavor and creamy richness of feta cheese since going vegan, prepare to rejoice: This Vegan Whipped Feta is dairy-free and every bit as delicious as its non-vegan counterpart. Serve this cheesy spread alongside your favorite cheeseboard accoutrements like crostini, crispy crackers or warm baguette and enjoy!

Serve this veggie quiche with a zesty green salad for the perfect brunch or family lunch this Spring!

This creamy Cajun Pasta with sausage and peppers is the perfect comfort food! Bow-tie pasta, sautéed onions, bell peppers and garlic tossed with a bold and zesty Cajun cream sauce. Every bite is flavorful, decadent and delicious!

This Creamy Vegan Truffle Parmesan Polenta topped with Rosemary Garlic Mushrooms is the fancy-but simple at its finest. It looks and tastes like something you’d pay top dollar for at a restaurant, but it’s incredibly easy to make at home and much more budget-friendly too!

I love to serve this with a glass of red wine. This vegan friendly Malbec Cabernet blend is a delicious paring and really compliments the cheesy flavors and hearty herbs. I talk more about wine pairings in this video if you’re interested.

Chickpea Spinach Casserole is a lot like pot pie. It has a creamy, savory filling made with chickpeas and lots of vegetables – I use a mix of roasted root veggies like potatoes and carrots and also some frozen staples like peas, corn and chopped spinach – and it’s baked beneath a crispy, golden brown crust. But instead of pie dough or puff pastry, this crust is made with a quicker, easier and healthier topping: sourdough croutons.

These easy Vegan Chicken + Spicy Street Corn Tacos are a must try weeknight dinner recipe! If you’re looking for easy vegetarian and vegan chicken taco recipes, this is a fun one to try! Warm tortillas filled with seasoned vegan chicken, creamy chunks of avocado, fresh cilantro and lots of sweet ‘n spicy street corn made with chili powder, lime juice and vegan parmesan. Best part? These tacos are a major crowd pleaser and they’re ready in less than 15 minutes.

You’ve got to try these Lentil Meatball Subs! Homemade vegan “meatballs” made with veggies, lentils and Italian herbs, sandwiched inside of a warm ‘n toasty hoagie roll with vegan mozzarella cheese.

And good news! While these hearty Italian subs taste like comfort food, they also happen to be pretty nutrient dense thanks these 100% plant-based meatballs made from a blend of onions, carrots, mushrooms and walnuts. I mix in lentils for fiber, protein and iron and then add loads of classic Italian flavor with garlic, fresh basil and tomato sauce.

Cheers to summer sipping!

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! 

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
