Next time you are in the mood for a glass of wine, consider making it biodynamic. Biodynamic wines are becoming much more widely available, and many are highly regarded, as well as better for the Earth.

Biodynamic farming is based on the precise observation and an attempt at balance of nature, a concept originated by the early 20th-century Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner. So, biodynamic wine is not only 100% organic, in addition, the grower has gone beyond to try to bring the farming process more closely in tune with nature. For instance, biodynamic wine growers may make their own compost and/or watch the stars and planets to time what they do.

The goal of biodynamic winemaking is to view the vineyard as a complete living system. It's about the soil, insects and other vegetation and animals that inhabit space in the vineyard — all working in harmony to bring you some incredible-tasting wines.
