Most of this sounds like common sense, but the 'cow's horns filled with manure and buried at the end of each row of vines at the fall equinox' is just too weird.

Subsequent vintages also hit the bar. This year's release, 2004, is just as promising. The wine is complex with lingering black fruit flavors that promise to age well. It's selling for $80 per bottle

What bullcrap. Proof positive that Californicators have too much time and money on their hands.

Biodynamic farming gains ground in the wine world

A decent read, but lost it at the biodynamic farming when it came to "Cow's horns are filled with manure and buried at the end of each row of vines at the fall equinox. Six months later, they are dug up, emptied and turned into a tea that is sprayed over the vineyard."

Plantings are done according to solar and lunar rhythms

Nothing new about this. My old grandfather ALWAYS planted by the phases of the moon. Any farmer's almanac has guidelines for this.

Don't know what to make of the bull horns...

tired of working a chunk of pesticide-laden land so sterile that even the birds didn't come near.

The birds won't show up unless there are insects to eat.
