the new way of wine.



all trends seem to be pointing to a new world of organic + biodynamic wines. pictured above: the fairly new appellation wine + sprits (156 tenth avenue). website here. seems like you are bound to see more cropping up, as with wine therapy and pure food and wine.

what does it all mean?

from the appellation site: biodynamic agriculture is based on the teachings of Rudolph Steiner (1863 – 1925) and specifically on his lectures given during the last year of his life. Demeter and other, grower-formed organizations provide guidelines for biodynamic production. However, the practice—adjusted by individual growers for their unique eco-system—is difficult to summarize because of all it encompasses as well as the individuality applied to each vineyard. For biodynamic wines, two related, prevalent ideas exist: life follows rhythms and the farm should be self-sustainable.

I've tried those wines and found both good ones and bad ones.
