Biodynamic Wines from Truett Hurst Winery
With holiday parties and New Year’s plans in full swing, the perfect pairing for any party is a great bottle of wine. Make it a biodynamic wine, and do better for yourself and the environment.
I recently visited Truett Hurst winery in Healdsburg, California’s Dry Creek Valley, and was blown away by the beauty of the property, as well as their biodynamic farming principals. Here you will find an indoor tasting area with two tasting bars and lounge area, an outdoor lounging/picnic patio (made of eco-friendly materials!), and peaceful, creek-side seating where you can enjoy a glass of wine and watch the fish swim by. There are even goats and sheep on the property (part of the biodynamic principals).
Of course, besides the beautiful property, the main focus is wine! My personal favorite is the Dessert Wine; it’s honestly one of the best I’ve ever had.
They have a great Zinfandel Rose that is perfect for pairing with lighter dishes and meats like seafood, turkey, and chicken, and an amazing selection of reds—their specialty.
Truett Hurst wines can be purchased online, or stop by their tasting room and try them for yourself!
