Obviously you’ve never driven or been driven in a Rolls Royce.

A Rolls Royce is a fancy expensive car that gets you where you’re trying to go with lots of extra decorativeness and upper class status. The transportation results are the same, but maybe people take you more seriously when you arrive because you obviously had cash to burn, or maybe they take you less seriously because you burned your cash on the car instead of doing something useful. Sounds a lot like biodynamics to me

Sondra,

Wine was not made from the grapes.

There were no significant differences. Some years the Brix was higher on the organic grapes and others not. the Biodynamic plots had higher total phenols in 2000 and 2001 while the organic plots were higher in 2002 and 2003.

These results are what you would expect from any randomized control plots within a vineyard. Clearly Biodynamic methods had no effect on the vineyard.

So how were the grapes from these different plots? Were wines made from each section?
