Biodynamic Wines for Thanksgiving!

"How about a bottle of green wine for your Thanksgiving dinner table?

For the sake of the environment as well as for the quality of their wines, winemakers around the world are returning to farming practices that resemble those of the Pilgrims. That means no pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Instead, wineries are composting and using natural means of supplying the vines with nutrients. Pests are controlled by free-range chickens roaming the vineyards and swallows flitting through the air, eating bad bugs."

This is a snippet from a great article about wines for your Thanksgiving table!  Definitely read the whole thing here.

My favorite organic and biodynamic wines I have had are Bonterra (Organic) and Quivira (biodynamic).

It was very inspiring visiting Quivira's vineyard in Sonoma.  I bought a bottle recently, brought it home for friends, and got nothing but love in return.  

Look how beautiful the grapes are!  MmmMmmM...

So impress your guests with some organic wine this year!  And also try it with our kumquat conserve.  You just put half a kumquat in the bottom of the glass and fill her up!  It never fails to please.

Happy Entertaining!
