Green Wines Are All The Rage

wine

Wine is one of my favorite treats.  More and more we are hear­ing about the health ben­e­fits of wine.  The recent rise in organic and sus­tain­able farm­ing on winer­ies is very encour­ag­ing to me.  Tra­di­tional winer­ies use inten­sive farm­ing meth­ods to ensure a good crop.  We are see­ing more evi­dence that bio­dy­namic, sus­tain­able, and organic prac­tices are cre­at­ing a higher qual­ity wine as well as bet­ter long-term, grow­ing con­di­tions for the wineries.

Here is a great graphic on how the wine indus­try is mov­ing towards sus­tain­able prac­tices. Check with your local wine pur­veyor for some green wines avail­able in your area.

Dandelions Make Great Medicine

The dan­de­lions are here! The dan­de­lions are here! Yes, I have been wait­ing all win­ter for the first sign of dan­de­lions. The bane of every home­owner striv­ing for a per­fect lawn is my favorite med­i­c­i­nal herb. You may have heard of eat­ing dan­de­lion greens and you may also know of dan­de­lion wine (you can actu­ally make wine from just about any edi­ble flower or plant, but I digress).

You might be won­der­ing why I am so over the top in love with Dandy. It is by far one of the most nour­ish­ing weeds in your yard. Accord­ing to Gail Faith Edwards in Open­ing Our Wild Hearts to the Heal­ing Herbs, dan­de­lions have many nutri­ents in all parts of the plant. The roots are rich in iron, man­ganese, phos­pho­rus, pro­tein, sodium and Vit­a­min A. The plant is well bal­anced in cal­cium, chromium, mag­ne­sium, niacin, potas­sium, riboflavin, zinc, and Vit­a­min C
