Each wine region is equipped with its own geographical gifts that are distinct to that small or large section of land. It is a regional character that shines through. It is the wine’s natural identity. It is like having the fingerprints of a place all over the wine.
In the wine world, we call that “terroir.”
Terroir is a French word that translates into the word “soil” in English. This short word, however, extends so much further than just the soil of a parcel of land. The concept of terroir basically encapsulates the overall environment in which the grapes are grown on the vines.

For a while, I unintentionally pushed rosé wine out of my life. It wasn’t because I wanted to. It just sort of happened as I focused on other styles of wine, hoping to expand my personal palate.
