Wine and Place

Description

The concept of terroir is one of the most celebrated and controversial subjects in wine today. Most will agree that well-made wine has the capacity to express “somewhereness,” a set of consistent aromatics, flavours, or textures that amount to a signature expression of place. But for every advocate, there is a sceptic, and for every writer singing praises related to terroir, there is a study or a detractor seeking to debunk terroir as myth.

Wine and Place examines terroir using a multitude of voices and points of view—from winemakers to wine critics, from science to literature—seeking not to prove its veracity but to explore its pros, cons, and other aspects. This comprehensive anthology lets readers come to their own conclusions about terroir.
