With a heat wave leading to a cooler period the 2008 harvest is coming in very smoothly up in Mendocino. We’ve already brought in our Fairbairn Ranch Syrah along with Chardonnay for our Ukiah Cellars label. Looking forward to some very concentrated and well balanced wines in the months ahead. Stay tuned for more updates from the vineyards!
Lots of activity underway over at Ft. Mason. Cases are being unloaded, tables set up, banners unfurled. Slow Food Nation opens this Saturday and we will be there pouring our wines at the Biodynamic Trade Association table and in the Enoteca. Steve Ryan will be on duty Saturday evening (5:40pm) giving a seminar on Terroir and Wine Quality. Josh Metz will be talking later (7:40pm) on the differences between Organic and Biodyanmic farming. Come on by to taste and learn. Go Slow!
The Demeter Biodynamic Trade Association (DBTA) has launched a new website as a resource for all things Biodynamic. This is a great source to address questions about the meaning of terms and certifiication standards and producers. Check back often for updates and events.
