Have you ever had a day when nothing tasted right?
I bet you thought that it was something that you ate, or you were coming down with something.
I’ve discovered that certain days, depending on where the moon is, food and wine can taste better or worse than it normally would.

This site is dedicated to the performance of wine based off the Biodynamic calendar.

The Biodynamic calendar is broken down into fruit, flower, root, and leaf days.  Each plant performs different tasks each corresponding day.  The sap of the plant moves into that specific area on that particular day and works on producing fruit, or flowers, roots, or leaves.

In a nutshell, here’s how it works with wine:

Fruit days are best.  Generally, a wine that is slightly reductive will open up.  These days the wine will perform to it’s full potential.

Flower days are also very good, there is plenty of fruit and aromatics.

Leaf days are not altogether bad.  They will cause wine to close in. So, in the way of an oxidative wine, it will show more structure, brighter acid and tannins.  This can be good for older wines, and help to bring them back into balance.

Root days can be the worst.  On these days wines can be hard, angular, hollow, almost painful to taste.  They generally show more earth tones, root vegetables, all kinds of structure, and very little fruit.
