Crane Lake - Cabernet Sauvignon


Emily Elizabeth

Recommended Posts

Emily Elizabeth Enthusiast

So since I've been very sick for almost 36 hours now, I've started trying to hunt down the culprit so I can avoid this in the future if at all possible. I tried a new cheap wine called Crane Lake before getting sick. Has anyone had this before? I wanted to call the company, but it doesn't have a number on the bottle and I can't seem to find them online. It just says Crane Lake Cellars, Napa Valley. It was decent wine for the price, but I'll never buy it again unless I know it's gluten free!

The other suspect stuff I had was:

whole foods organic canned garbanzo beans

Safeway cornstarch (usually use Argo)

Safeway cumin (used it before, but maybe not as much as I did this time)

I can't think of anything else that was new to my diet.

Thanks in advance for anything you can offer!

Emily,

I ran across your post about a month ago after having a reaction of my own. I too had a few new items I had added to my diet including the Crane Lake Petite Sirah. I was devastated at the thought that my wine might be the culprit. I had the same problem trying to find and answer about CL online.

However, I happen to be in the industry. So, I contacted the rep. for Crane Lake and asked her to see if she could find out for me. Omitting e-mail addresses and names I am quoting her e-mail and that of Crane Lake.

Rep: " I have a client that loves the Petite Sirah, but she is very allergic to wheat. SHe had a reaction the other day. One of the things she had was the Crane Lake. She does not want to give it up, but if anything - even the barrel sealant would cause a reaction. If we are 100% that there is not wheat she would like to order a case and let her wheat free support group know that this is an approved product. Can you help me with this because I am at a loss."

Crane Lake: " We do not add any wheat products to our wines. TTB is the governmental agency that regulated the wine industry. I looked at their list of authorized treatments. Wheat is not on the list of authorized treatment materials. I hope this helps."

I plan on testing it out again. With cheddar cheese it is great. I'll cross my fingers, and keep you informed if I have a reaction.

"It's 5 O'clock somewhere!" ;)

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

      Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications. Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted to at least mention the possible negative sides of having a formal diagnosis. While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

      Thank you all so much for your advice and thoughts. We ended up having another scope and more bloodwork last week. All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott.  Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?
