The blog Heliotrope Wines has a sometimes calendar and email for the coming week.<br />I've tried to give up on the BioD calendar but still refer to it sometimes.TWGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02592548268341500443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-28506599836249699692012-01-16T18:01:10.640-05:002012-01-16T18:01:10.640-05:00George - This is not the first time in the past we...George - This is not the first time in the past week or so that the biodynamic calendar has bee raised as an issue on this blog's comments. I think there is something to it, personally, but I will also admit that after spending some time thinking about biodynamics and trying to follow the calendar (2 years ago or so), I stopped. I have a friend who is a serious wine professional who says " I will not open a truly special bottle of wine without looking at the calendar first." <br /><br />Anon - I did not. Just re-corked it and back in the wine fridge.Brooklynguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321573602782343974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-45067766192780884792012-01-16T15:53:32.640-05:002012-01-16T15:53:32.640-05:00did you use a vacu-vin?did you use a vacu-vin?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-66411043809641108062012-01-15T17:37:28.923-05:002012-01-15T17:37:28.923-05:00At the risk of sounding like a complete geek, acco...At the risk of sounding like a complete geek, according to my stocking stuffer book, "When Wine Tastes Best" a biodynamic calendar for wine drinkers, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day were bad days for wine. I am in the trial phase with this little book but it's a thought. Now I am going to burn some incense and chant.george@silverlakewine.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-32666713320236464172012-01-15T09:30:50.361-05:002012-01-15T09:30:50.361-05:00thanks dan.

Didn't you find the flavors a bit constricted in the first two photos?<br /><br />hey Levi - except on day 1, i did use that (riedel sommelier series sherry glass, for those who don't recognize it) every day. i always thought that glass was better for Fino style wines, and a wider bowl, like a white wine glass at least for brown sherries. That's the way I used the glasses and everything was fine. I now do exactly the opposite (brown sherries in the glass you see in the photo) and Finos in a white wine glass. I personally enjoy both better that way - browns are more focused and intense in the smaller glass. And I will admit that this was not my idea. The Peter told me to try it this way, and it stuck.Brooklynguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321573602782343974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-70856043331886410232012-01-14T00:56:24.110-05:002012-01-14T00:56:24.110-05:00I think that is an interesting choice of glass.

Do you think another type of glass might have given a bit different results?<br /><br />Just curious.leviopenswinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07955423085615181720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-17555285224358527402012-01-13T16:06:24.238-05:002012-01-13T16:06:24.238-05:00These are beautiful photographs.
