Talking about Terroir: Wines that Speak of Home
Where were you born? Where do you live? Do you call New York City home? Or is it Cleveland? Or Boca Raton? The impact of place on a person is undeniable, shaping everything from the way you talk, to how quickly you walk, to whether you prefer ketchup or mustard (or avocado!) on a hot dog. Wine is no different. People who love wine are passionate about the concept of terroir, the idea that the unique combination of a vineyard's location, climate, soil, and the practices of the winemaker can shape the character of a wine.
But wait! Does it really matter if a wine is mass produced using modern technologies, such as temperature-controlled fermentation and machine harvesting - especially if the price is right? We’ll taste for ourselves to see, as well as tasting wines made from the same grape but grown in different regions of the world.
What we’re reading: Excerpts from The Wine Bible, by Karen MacNeil, Arbitrary Stupid Goal, by Tamara Shopsin, and others.
Wines we are tasting: A variety of wines from different regions made from the same grape, including biodynamic and/or organic wines.
