Alain Dugas, winemaker at France's Chteau La Nerthe--where wine has been produced almost continuously since 1560--began experimenting with biodynamics on 20 of its Chteauneuf-du-Pape acres 10 years ago. Why the sudden urge to tinker with centuries-old practices? "To maintain pH balances," Dugas explains. "There is less acidity in biodynamic wines...

Formally trained as an architect, Reyes was taught to come up with practical solutions given specific situations; as his career went on, he began to combine this education...
