Interesting article about terroir and the relation that humans/winemakers have in the equation for producing wine. It’s fascinating to think about the perspective the winemaker from the article has about the impact of terroir on wine compared to the impact from a winemaker. From studying wine I feel that terroir is the foundation of the production of wine. Humans play a large role in the vineyard in ways of management that help balance the forces of nature that humans can’t control. When the grapes are harvested for wine production the natural factors of terroir have a different level of impact. I think from there, the terroir is then experienced in the aroma and taste of a wine. The aroma and taste of a wine is shaped in different ways by winemakers and their winemaking styles. Would definitely love to hear more on this and different perspectives from colleagues and people in the wine industry.

Ever wondered how to build a Wine Collection? 🤔 To create a thoughtful wine collection, consider the following approach: Grapes or Blends You Love Start with wines made from your favorite grape varieties or blends, whether it’s a classic Pinot Noir or an intriguing Bordeaux blend. Regions You Prefer Focus on wines from regions that resonate with you—whether it’s the elegance of Burgundy, the richness of Napa Valley, or the vibrancy of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Production Philosophy You Appreciate Decide if you prefer organic, biodynamic, or conventionally produced wines. Supporting wineries that align with your values can add meaning to your collection. Producers You Admire Highlight the work of producers whose wines consistently impress you or who have a style you enjoy exploring. Vintages You Treasure Collect wines from standout years or vintages that hold personal significance. Vintage diversity also showcases how wine evolves with time. While these guidelines aren’t set in stone, they provide a solid framework to structure your collection and understand your preferences. By David Nagy, DipWSET

Is every bottle of wine a "personal statement" from its winemaker? Should it be...? I got curious about this question in advance of tasting Naidu Wines from Raghni Naidu in Sonoma, whose personal narrative provides compelling food for thought. Today's new post over on Forbes offers some perspective on tasting wines as "self-standers," and tasting them in the context of their origin. Please have a look. https://lnkd.in/e_eERZMy
