Terroir is a term you may have heard used by someone drinking wine. The scenario could have occurred as follows: A person takes a sip of wine and then exclaims, "This wine exhibits beautiful terroir." You might be thinking to yourself, what in the world do they mean by that?! Can you really taste the "minerality" in wine, or is it something else altogether?

During this complimentary Wine 101 class, we'll discuss this sometimes overused and often confusing French term that, in simplicity, means "a sense of place." Although this might be a little nerdy, when you think about winemaking, you can't start the conversation until there's an understanding of place, influences, and how to manage (or mitigate) the elements that occur or are available in the vineyard. We hope you'll join us in what should be a lively educational conversation.
