5 Green Wines to Uncork
Biodynamic farming, a holistic approach that bans the use of pesticides and artificial additives, produces wine in a sustainable way. It's better for the environment and better for your conscience. Here are five biodynamic wines to try.

Gemtree Vineyards 2008 "Tadpole" Shiraz, McLaren Vale, South Australia, $11
This hearty Aussie red has blackberry and chocolate notes with floral aromas, and would be a good match with beef or lamb.
Marc Kreydenweiss 2006 "Perriyres," Costiyres de Nimes, France, $17
This earthy red from the south of France is made from Syrah, Grenache, and Carignan. Try it with braised meat dishes.
Bonny Doon 2008 Ca' del Solo Albarino, Monterey County, California, $20
Made from a Spanish variety of grape, this fruity white wine has citrus, almond, and ginger notes. Great with Asian food.
Pierre Morey 2007 Bourgogne Aligote, Burgundy, $20
A bright and fruity white with crisp acidity that shows the lighter side of Burgundy. And you can't beat French white Burgundy paired with roast chicken.
Robert Sinskey Vineyards 2007 Los Carneros Pinot Noir, Napa Valley, $38
An earthy and earth-friendly Pinot with red cherry flavors and plenty of spice. Sip it on its own or with duck.
