When Wine Tastes Best 2015

A Biodynamic Calendar for Wine Drinkers

This companion volume is now in its third year and is based on the same biodynamic principles. It is now also available as an app on I-Tunes. There are four elements at play, namely flower, leaf, fruit, and root. Fruit and flower days are the best for wine drinking, while leaf and root should be avoided. Interestingly, older wine can be drunk on leaf days. Many wine merchants and supermarkets are already familiar with this approach, and pick suitable days for their tastings. On a more mundane level, it may help one plan the best days for dinner parties. This edition also contains a nice article on biodynamic wine tasting.
