  • Genius! You have done it again. I don’t know how the HELL you keep pulling amazing show after show out of thin air, but I guess this just goes to show that when you have good content and you have the “chops” as Gary says, this is the kind of thing that can happen! Keep it up brutha!

    Lurker coming out…great to have guests like this on the show, whatever side of the nature assistant/winemaker spectrum they may be on.

    Note to Joly and biodynamicists: the rhetoric is usually where we lose people. Solar energy becoming chemical energy isn’t non-matter becoming tangible…it’s a well-understood process (photosynthesis). We know roots take up almost nothing besides water, and yet old vines taste different than the new ones next to them. The debate rages on…

    Huge fan Gary. I’m going to say it every time: special guests and blind tastings. Keep it up.

    Nicolas is a terrific guest! I could sit and listen all day- thanks!
    Very timely topic, too. I’ve been planning this years’ gardens and had just pulled out my books on permaculture to review the direction I’m headed with our property…
    Looking forward to Part 2.

  • Absolutely awesome show guys. Can’t wait to the next half tomorrow. Biodynamics is such a powerful and importnat movement, especialy in the production of products such as wine. I think a lot of people would be amazed at how many of Australia’s top wines are produced biodynamically, especialy as producers often don’t advertise the fact as they let the quaility of the wine speak for itself.

    Cheers
