A Tasting Talk: The Astrology of Wine

Using the Moon Sign to Improve the Tasting Experience

Winemakers have been timing their tasks with the heavens for millennia. Today’s BioDynamic Vintners use Astrology Calendars to optimize results and time tastings. But you don’t need to be a stargazer to use this knowledge. As we taste a selection of wines, you’ll learn 1) How grape varietals correlate with the Sun, Moon and Planets. 2) How a person’s Sun Sign affects the wines they prefer. 3) How the Moon Sign changes the tasting experience. 4) How adjusting your presentations for those Signs produce better sales. Hint: Try asking Google, ‘What is the tropical Moon Sign now?’ and see what happens! Ralph DeAmicis is a local tour guide, co-author of the region’s top wine tour books, as well as the Planetary Calendar, California’s coolest and most informative Astrology Almanac. From that they developed the 2025 Lunar Wine Tasting Calendar, which will be available at the tasting talk. You can learn more about their books at SpaceAndTime.com and AmicisTours.com.
