Wine List
Biodynamic Wine Selections: “Wines with Soul”
You will notice an F after certain wines on our list denoting
wineries that practice biodynamic farming and grape growing. Wineries
that farm sustainably and organic are noted with a J.
We believe this is important and makes a difference in the quality
of the wine, and allows the guest to support a winery that chooses
to grow grapes “naturally” and without the usage of herbicides and
unnecessary chemicals.
Biodynamics is a sustainable farming system that is based on a
series of lectures given by Rudolf Steiner in 1924 in Germany.
Steiner believed that fertilizers and pesticides were degrading the
quality of food due to chemical substances and the spiritual
shortcomings of chemical farming. We believe that biodynamics
in the simplest terms brings the attention to the soil or terroir rather
than to the winemaker or winemaking techniques to shape a wine.
These practices bring the soil “back to life”, and truly give wines the
“soul” that allow for extra complexity and personality.
Some have dismissed biodynamics as “witchcraft” and “voodoo”
because of some unusual techniques such as burying cow horns
with manure, or spraying the vineyard with quartz crystals and
harvesting by moon cycles. On the other hand, Biodynamics is
one of the most exciting, new, controversial trends in the wine
world today and has re-energized some fantastic estates. We
invite you to try one of these wines as an alternative and see if
you can taste the difference.
