Do you hear that sound? It’s the sound of summer running out, and if you don’t take advantage now it’ll be all fall leaves and rain drops before you know it. Get yourself to the beach, quick, while you still can…and bring some nibbles, noshes and libations while you’re at it so that you can spend the whole day (or at least stay until sunset).

The only problem with gourmet feasting surf side is finding a way to juggle everything and stay relaxed. Or that was the only problem until now. Enter the Bamboo Wine Table from Uncommon Goods. It’s made from 100% sustainable bamboo and crafted to hold a couple wine glasses and a small snack (perhaps a great cheese from a local, organic dairy farm?) without requiring any effort on your part. Simply push the stake on the bottom of the wine table into the sand and slip your wineglasses into the holders to become the envy of all other beach goers. Of course, if you can’t make it all the way to the beach you can just as easily throw down a blanket on the front lawn and dig the wine table in there (we suggest a little star gazing and sipping for a great eco-friendly evening).

Whether you’re a wine enthusiast for the love of the grape or for the love of celebrating life, sometimes there’s nothing better than raising a glass of vino with a friend. And study after study says wine has big health benefits so you can feel good about imbibing (at least a little), but we bet you’ll feel even better when sipping out of eco-friendly wine glasses. Pop open a bottle of organic wine and start pouring!

If you want a striking glass to impress guests, go for a pair of Aqua Lady blown glass wine glasses. The Quiarartes, a traditional Mexican family, creates each glass by hand, taking high carbon cost factories out of the mix. They melt down recycled glass and hand blow the glasses, adding silver leaf for a sparkling finishing touch on the stem.

Or if you want to exude the traditions of Italy or follow the latest trends, choose stemless glasses from Uncommon Goods.  Click here to read more

Get out your semi-formal summer attire, your romantic side and your wallet: it’s once again wedding season. This year, however, you can bring green into even the whitest wedding by foregoing the registry and picking an original gift that’s good for the environment.

While the bride and groom are inundated with soup spoons and toasters, why not give them something to help them unwind from the big day and toast not their bread, but their union. The Ceago Opulent Vintner’s Collection opens to reveal two wines (red and white, for either taste), assorted roasted nuts, fresh fruits and chocolate caramel pecan clusters — all of which are organic. Plus a bottle of biodynamic, cold-pressed olive oil to get things cooking back at home. We recommend reading up on Organic Style’s website to find out more about the benefits of biodynamic agriculture. Click here to read more
