Beltane
Sunday | 02 May 2010
It is one of my favorite times of the year! Beltane, often marked by a maypole celebration, is a time of celebration of the Earth. During the month of May, Beltane marked the time between the Spring equinox and the Summer solstice, and the start of the pastoral summer at which time farming and herding activities began. It is one of only a few pagan rituals that remain in the human consciousness. As Steiner (the founder of the Biodynamic farming method) believed, the gift of humans is our intellect. We must use our intellect to keep the celebration of the Earth alive. In all regards, that is our human responsibility. I hope these brief notes on the maypole stimulate your imagination and remind you to celebrate and thank our Earth.Read full blog post...
Report from Fortune Women's Conference
Tuesday | 22 September 2009
I recently returned from pouring at Fortune magazine's 50 Most Powerful Women Conference. It was, of course, an honor to be asked to pour our wine for these very accomplished women. As you can imagine, my day started with lots of excitement to see and meet such a prestigious crowd. That part was great! But then came the trepidation. That's me on the left with Susan Ungaro, executive director of The James Beard Foundation.Read full blog post...

Report from James Beard House
Monday | 07 September 2009
Yup – it was fun to go to New York City to pour wine at the Beard House on August 27th! Nothing could have prepared me for the charm of the building. The James Beard House is, or actually was, James Beard’s house. Each floor of the old brownstone in the West Village has been converted into a dining room. The rooms comfortably accommodate several tables of four and six, and the walls are lined with memorabilia. The windows look out onto the wisteria-lined courtyard. Charming!Read full blog post...

James Beard pours Cowhorn
Wednesday | 26 August 2009
If you’d have told us back when we were removing rocks from our blocks that The James Beard Foundation would be pouring Cowhorn wines in New York City this year, we would probably have thought that you had enjoyed one to many glasses of grappa.
But as this is written, Barbara is in New York City to give some of the Big Apple’s most discerning foodies a taste of some of Southern Oregon’s only certified Biodynamic™ wine.
