We have simple taste.
We like the best.
And, it DOES make a difference that Kind of Wild is ORGANIC.
Drumroll please, this is one of the very best wine brands we have had at all in 2024, dining at restaurants included.
We'll start out on the lighter side. It may be stormy and cold today in Manhattan, but the South African sunshine in a bottle can be yours to enjoy! Naturally, this ripe Sauvignon Blanc is a fit for all of your Dover Sole and Branzino dishes, and it is approachable for your 4-o-clock-somewhere end of the day celebrations with cheese and crackers. Our discriminating panel overwhelmingly voted this a total yes for your collection and we love Katie Lee too. In fact, we met her right before we started Whom You Know and though we met her just once, it was enough for Peachy to remember when she met her again. She is showing the wine world that girls are wine leaders too and she's teamed up with three talented men in the business. Stay tuned for more glorious hits from Kind of Wild and we suggest you start your weekend off with them.

VARIETAL: Sauvignon Blanc
ORIGIN: Western Cape, South Africa
PROFILE: This is a quintessential Sauvignon Blanc. Platinum in hue, this zesty Sauvignon Blanc seduces with bright aromas of fresh mandarin blossom, and jasmine kisses – distinct flavors that evoke its coastal origins. Pack a few glasses and buy an alpaca for this mouthwatering adventure.
13% ABV
FOOD PAIRING: Kind of Zesty! Try a garlic shrimp Taco Tuesday or roasted pepper fajitas with salsa verde, both dishes will pair perfectly with this refreshingly clean Sauvignon Blanc.
The grapes were handpicked in the early hours from the broader Western Cape region. Covering a vast area of over 400 kms, vineyards were selected from several premium wine regions in an effort to show case the unique diversity in flavor profiles available within the Western Cape. The Sauvignon Blanc is produced from higher, cooler vineyards in the Cape.
Mission Statement of Brand: Support organic and regenerative farming while introducing consumers to unique estate grown organic wines from around the world that are better for you.

Why Choose Kind of Wild
We've torn the label back and ventured into the wild to return with this collection of world-class wines made with organic grapes.
If you’re like us, you’re concerned about what might hide behind the pretty label in the wine you love. Conventional wines can use a long list of chemicals in the vineyards and winemaking that end up in the soils and in the finished wine you drink.
Thankfully, for all of us, Kind of Wild is wine obsessed. We’ve spent years crafting wines that are not only made from organic grapes and grown using sustainable farming practices but are also the most outstanding wines the earth has to offer. We’ve gone direct to the roots, to some of the world’s greatest appellations forging partnerships, and expertly crafted a collection for wine lovers like us. It’s been kind of wild, but we think you’ll agree, it’s been worth it.
Kind of Wild is a collection of global discoveries devoted to rewilding the planet, producing wines that are kindly crafted and kinder to you
When you choose Kind of Wild wines, you’re buying more than wine. You’re supporting growers across the globe who believe in creating a sustainable future by improving soil health, diminishing soil erosion, keeping natural waters free from chemicals and having a positive, lasting impact on the local ecosystem. We believe by supporting these growers; we can encourage others to adopt organic and regenerative farming.
It’s a huge win — kinder to the planet, leading to more choice in quality wines that are kindly crafted and kinder to you.
Together, we can do something Kind of Wild.

Our Founders
Kind of Wild was launched by Jordan & Adam Sager to create a brand that merged global wine discoveries with forward thinking, mission-focused sustainability. Having 50 years of combined wine industry experience with their family importing company, the brothers knew that key relationships with top growers and winemakers all over the world would pave the way.
Following the launch, their path crossed with renowned celebrity chef, best-selling author and award-winning television personality Katie Lee Biegel. The encounter led to an instant connection, and the trio realized they shared a mutual passion for transforming wine experiences, by recognizing amazing and delicious wines could be produced responsibly. Katie soon became co-founder and integral part of the team, lending her unique culinary perspective, captivating personality, and inspiring creativity.
