You're probably familiar with organic farming, but what about biodynamic farming? Bill Steele explains the biodynamic farming techniques he uses to grow grape varieties historically associated with the Rhône River wine region of France: Syrah and Grenache for red wine, and Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne for white wine. The farm, located in southern Oregon, uses all the goodness of organics, plus more. They don’t use anything synthetic, toxic or harmful. Instead they build up the soil with micronutrients, allow beneficial plants to grow between the vine rows, and encourage other creatures to live in and around the vineyard.
