Cayuse

Not recommending, just saying.

And Araujo makes an interesting Sauvignon Blanc.

I was asking for ones worth trying.

I'm pretty sure I've only had their Chardonnays. But I wasn't a fan. The Pinot Noirs are worth trying? Are they available at retail?

Wines are good. Try the Anderson Valley pinots. Sort of expensive though.

In my opinion, the Littorai Pinots, especially Savoy, are really special.

Agreed.

I would note that I have experienced bottle variation (in white) in young wines.

Silver Thread in NY State has some decent bio stuff.

Are they fully biodynamic now? I didn't get there this summer, but when I've visited in the past I've been told that they use some biodynamic treatments but were not fully biodynamic. I know they have had problems getting some of their grapes certified as organic because they have neighbors who spray, and that they have used commercial yeasts.

I opened their 2007 Off Dry Finger Lakes Riesling last week. It was very good, but I think it will benefit from some age: the acidity was a little shrill the first day, but over three or four days it smoothed out and plumped up and the nose opened quite a bit. The 1.2% rs is a level that many Finger Lakes producers would label as dry. I found this at Chambers Street, which surprised me because Silver Thread is not widely available even in the Finger Lakes.
 
David said something about biodynamie when I bought the wine at CSW a while back. I may very well have misunderstood, but I sort of thought they were on board.
 
How surreal to see Grgich Hills and Phelps, whipping boys in my vinous youth for much of what was coming out of CA as bland, corporate and in some cases ridiculously overpriced wines, now being mentioned in a thread on biodynamie.

I though that was fat-bottomed girls?

My understanding is that fat-bottomed girls only make the Rockin' world go 'round.

It's an issue with a lot of overlap and a few grey areas, I'll concede, and some classicists in the field might choose to opt for love.
