As both a science major and someone who has seen more impossible things happen than anyone should in a lifetime, I think there may be something to this. 200 years ago they would have called using bread mold to cure infections voodoo.
No, I studied biology and chemistry (genetics mostly) but I have also seen miracles and tragedies that could not be explained, people healed with home remedies that made no sense and athletes in their prime die of heart attacks…there are more things in heaven and earth…
Miracles aren’t real. Tragedies happen because of mathematical probabilities. People have heart attacks because of genetics. And home remedies don’t work any better than time. If you get cancer, where are you going? A hospital, a church to pray it away, or Mama Deb’s home clinic?
Your two primary fields of study are the two that should, beyond any shadow of doubt, assus that you understand that you can’t alter biology (grapes) with fake chemistry (adding quartz crystals to soil).
16 years ago I stepped off of a 6 story building and found myself being lifted down onto the roof where I heard a voice clear as day claim my life… I spent 21 years thinking that science disproved miracles but then a miracle disproved science. I concede that a rational scientist like you would call my miracle a psychotic delusion brought on by the stress that put me on the roof in the first place but I’d contend that blind faith in science is just as ridiculous as faith in miracles or crystals. I am not sold on biodynamics but I refuse to ignore the possibility that there are things that science can’t explain.
As far as vintages, 2007 was a much stronger year than 2010 which was tough (so was '11). I haven’t had any of the wines. However, the specs on the blend suggest a fruit bomb. High pH, high alcohol. The numbers on the PN seem much better, although the TA # is definitely a typo.
The PN isn’t BD, but it is ORGANIC. Link is to an article written by PW about Organic farming and why it’s STOOPID.
