Wine Class: Defining Terroir, Getting the Dirt on Merlot

Ever wonder why Merlot tastes so different depending on where it’s grown? The definition of terroir has evolved from a simple idea of soil and place to a living, shifting relationship between land, climate, seasons, and human decision-making. In this class, we’ll explore how that evolving concept plays out in the vineyard, examining healthy soils, farming practices, latitude, and vintage variation while tasting Merlots from classic Pomerol to unexpected New World regions. Join us as we trace how terroir has expanded over time and discover how nature, technique, and tradition continue to shape every glass of Merlot.
