This is the wine we're having for dinner tonight - it's a new one, courtesy of BevMo's 5-cent wine sale.
It may be hard to see in this photo, but if you look at the bottom of the label, you'll see that this wine is made with "biodynamic grapes." I don't really know what that means.

Biodynamic grapes are the result of organic farming practices that are rooted in mysticism and the cycle of the moon. Preparing a vineyard for biodynamic grape growing consists of several preparations, many of which use ingredients of animal origin:
* Preparation 500 - Cow manure is buried in cow horns in the soil. The manure is then spread over the fields.
* Preparation 501 - Ground quartz is buried in cow horns in the soil. The quartz is sprayed over the vines.
* Preparation 502 - Yarrow flowers are fermented in a deer's bladder, then applied to the compost.
* Preparation 503 - Chamomille flowers are fermented in the soil, then applied to the compost.
* Preparation 504 - Stinging nettle tea is applied to the compost.
* Preparation 505 - Oak bark fermented in the skull of a domestic animal is applied to the compost.
* Preparation 506 - Dandelion flowers fermented in cow mesentery is applied to the compost.
* Preparation 507 - Valerian flower juice is applied to the compost.
* Preparation 508 - Horsetail tea is applied to the vines.
