[...] We were hosting a biodynamic tasting at our offices in Portland. Pacific Rim was pouring a vertical of Wallula Vineyard Biodynamic Rieslings (picture above). This was an opportunity for me to taste through the first three vintages (2007-2008-2009) of the magnificent Wallula Vineyard and reflect on our winemaking and our progress. Remember that those wines are biodynamic wines (vs made from biodynamic grapes) which is pretty rare as I saw yesterday where most of the producers present were pouring made from biodynamic grapes wines. Nothing is added to those wines (no yeast, no acid, no nothing) and they are certified biodynamic. Wallula is probably one of the most thoughtful Riesling planting in the USA with a special trellis system, German clones and all biodynamically farmed (http://rieslingrules.com/the_book/about-our-wines/biodynamic-winemaking-at-pacific-rim/).

Dear Andy,

I do not know of anything pretty and fun to put on the wall. I use the official biodynamic calendar: http://www.biodynamics.com/node/346

May be a fun project for the wine industry to put together?

Hi – I’m looking for a biodynamic wine calendar. Something pretty to hang on the kitchen wall to make sure I don’t open the good stuff on a root day! Do you know of one? Or do you know when I can get the info I need?

There’s bit of shift towards this thinking in the UK. Two big of the big supermarkets only do their tastings non-root/leaf days. To me, certain aspects make perfect sense i.e. the biodiversity has to be good farming.
