Thanks for the info Kevin. I’m definately interested in trying it. Do you know who distributes Domaine Henri Milan in the Oregon area? ~Pamela

Les Baux de Provence was the first wine region in France to go biodynamic. One of the wines I import from there, Domaine Henri Milan, is biodynamic AND tastes great. It won “Best Imported White” at the Minnesota Food & Wine Experience, which is the lragest tasting event in the State. The wine critic, Brooklyn Guy, also found it very memorable.

There’s a crazy stigma against biodynamic & organic wines on the consumer side that I’m just not getting. Although I understand the drama about agability and use of sulfites, generally speaking, the purer the expression of the grapes in the glass, and the more they leave the fruit alone, the better. A good organic/biodynamic wine site is a new one I ran into not long ago called http://www.drinktheearth.com. Reviews and such, including winery information and interviews with wine makers. Covers beer and spirits, too. Pretty enjoyable…

We love Biodynamic wines and there are many to enjoy in California. Being certified Biodynamic is an extensive process and the wineries are committed to create the best wine for people and the planet!

Jack – wonderful advice and suggestions. It’s been a few years since I tried a biodynamic wine and the few I’ve tasted were not impressive to say the least. I am excited to try out a few you listed above, explicitly some of the fine examples represented outside of the U.S. Thanks for the input.

“I began to think about all of the biodynamic and/or organic wines I’ve tasted over the years and I had a hard time recalling… one wine that was memorable, exceptional or exciting.”

It’s been just the opposite with me; a higher than expected percentage of the wines I’ve liked the most turned out to be biodynamic. Might I suggest you focus on recent Araujo releases, or go to Alsace (Z-H, Weinbach, Deiss), Movia in Slovenia, Castello des Rampollo in Italy, etc., etc. The “movement” is more recent in the US, and so far, the best biodynamic wines (except for Araujo and a few others) are made outside the US.
