Summary: "Biodynamic wines are organic wines that come from self-sustaining vineyards. No added sulfites, no pesticides, and no foreign yeasts are used in grape growing or wine making. Biodynamic producers even take into account the cycle of the moon when making their wine.

Better than Blueberries

Time: 9:00pm
Location: Askew (504 LaGuardia Place)
Cost: Free
Open Bar: Rum, 9 to 10
Summary: I'm taking over Lindsay's post. I like blueberries. I like them in smooties and I like them on a warm summer day. I'd like someone to make me a cocktail with them... maybe some sort of blueberries, rasberry vodka, and juice thing. We can call it Smurf orgasm or something so that the girls will drink it too. Anyway, this party rocks. Each week they will bring you top notch DJs and tonight is FreNYC favorite Catchdubs.
