July 9th Class: Biodynamic Wines

What the heck is biodynamic? Many of us know that it's sort of like sustainable and somehow greener than organic, but beyond that it gets a little fuzzy. We might have heard just enough about it -- doesn't it involve burying a cow's horn in the field at the new moon? -- to dismiss it as wacked out and woo-woo. And yet some very well respected growers and producers follow this rigorous practice. If you'd like to learn more about how it's contributing to the world of wine, join us on Thursday, July 9th for a class on Biodynamic Wines with Katherine Cole, wine columnist for The Oregonian. She'll discuss the philosophy of biodynamics, its application in wine production, and Oregon winemakers who follow the practice. And of course, we'll be tasting several of these wines as we go! Wouldn't it be wong not to?
