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...

What a great web log. I spend hours on the net reading blogs, about tons of various subjects. I have to first of all give praise to whoever created your theme and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an fabulous article. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only very few posses and honestly you got it. The combining of demonstrative and upper-class content is by all odds super rare with the astronomic amount of blogs on the cyberspace.
