In the biodynamic community, the 2011 publication of Voodoo Vintners: Oregon’s Astonishing Biodynamic Winegrowers, was seen as a mixed blessing. On one hand, Katherine Cole's excellent writing captured fascinating and unique stories of a dozen Biodynamic practitioners and presented core principles and practices of biodynamics in an approachable way. On the other hand, the title served to underline and reemphasize prevalent perceptions of biodynamics as occult and unscientific. Seven years later, what has changed in the vineyard, the winery, and public perception? Author Katherine Cole and three second-generation winemakers will explore these questions in a lively panel discussion.
