Terroirist Tuesday: Get Your #Terroir On!

By L.m. Archer @lmarcherml

Welcome to binNotes’ Terroirist Tuesday.

“The concept that the particulars of a zone – the combination of soil, climate, grape type, and, perhaps, human history – are responsible for producing very special characteristics that are unique to a quite specific spot …reveals the truth about wine and anchors us to a respect for the natural world that is fundamental to our well-being.”

- Neal I. Rosenthal, “Reflections of a Wine Merchant.”

 In preparation for the topic of Burgundy’s Côte d’Or, binNotes tests your skills on all things terroir. Bon chance!
