Jenny Lefcourt from Jenny & Francois Selections, an importer of all organic and biodynamic wines from California, France, and beyond. Jenny discussed how very different wines can have similiar philosophies, and how the thinking behind a wine can affect its taste; the difference between a "technical" wine and an organic or naturally created wine shows in the bottle. Some growers make descisions based on making money, while some growers farm based on making the best grapes possible--Jenny favors the latter. This episode was sponsored by Whole Foods.
