Now if anyone has an actual calender, can you tell me what kind of day December 16th is supposed to be?

My life is now complete. I have asked all my relatives to give me this in lieu of other gifts. Thank you, Keith!

I'll look it up tonight whether you're serious or not. PM if I forget.

Leaf until noon, then fruit all the way to noon on Saturday the 18th. I believe the calendar is EST. Tom?
 
Is a leaf day turning into a fruit day auspicious for drinking wine?
Those calendar symbols all talk about gardening activities, not drinking.
 
Fruit days followed by flower days are best. Leaf days are allegedly good for older wines. Root days are no good along with non tasting days

What piqued my interest was the information about hairdressing. If the biodynamic calendar can tell me the best days to get my hair cut, I'm there!

I've always preferred salad days, myself.

According to my copy of "When Wine Tastes Best" for 2010, the times on the charts are GMT/British Summer Time so EST would be five hours behind. On Dec. 16th at around 4:30 pm GMT it becomes a fruit day and remains as such until approximately 2 pm Saturday (12/18), GMT.

Oswaldo is referencing the planting calendar which is the USA version

I'll cross reference the two to see if there's an error.
 
Is there anyone here who claims to have found that there is any validity to this calendar with respect to good/bad days for drinking? I sure have never noticed any.

One producer in Burgundy who probably believes more of BD than most others (many say they don't believe it, but following it in the vineyard gives them better wines) at one time wasn't going to let me taste his wines on improper days, but he's long ago dropped that position.
