When reading some of Rudolph Steiner&amp;#39;s principles I thought I was signing up for &amp;quot;Heaven&amp;#39;s Gate&amp;quot; cult, or some other off the wall association... but the concepts were pretty clear; I dig it. (still can&amp;#39;t get the image of Bart Araujo pulling Stag&amp;#39;s Bladder out of the ground and emptying out Yarrow Flowers... *I guess it would be Françoise Peschon now*) Anyway great read... and the analogies at the end with chickens was Brilliant! (When i scrolled down and saw the picture of chickens, it got a true audible chuckle) Thanks Ronan.&lt;/p&gt;

I also feel that the increase in intention and awareness/observation that often comes with these farming techniques also contributes to a more expressive-of-place product. Ask any ten wine people a wine related question and you&amp;#39;ll get nine or ten answers. That&amp;#39;s my answer. &lt;/p&gt;

These are generally much healthier properties, and visibly so. I&amp;#39;ll be the first to admit that there&amp;#39;s plenty of hocus pocus associated with biodynamic farming but one of the best arguments is that if you want to exhibit the true terroir of a vineyard then minimizing your synthetic chemical inputs and being more in tuned with natures forces will...&lt;/p&gt;
