A Terroir Reader
"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, flavors, or textures that amount to a signature expression of place.

"For me, the construct of terroir has always been the big pumping heartbeat of wine. Unhinged from it, wine would be dead--a hollow shell emotionally and intellectually. And yet do any of us spend enough time thinking about terroir, the very lifeblood of what we love? With Wine and Place, Tim Patterson and John Buechsenstein have given us a great gift--a fantastic book that explains why wine moves us and reminds us why wine has meaning. I could not put this book down."--Karen MacNeil, author of The Wine Bible and editor of WineSpeed
"Wine's magic appears to be closely tied to its place of birth. In this tasty volume, the subject inspires passionate writing from some of the best of our wine writers."--Kermit Lynch, author of Adventures on the Wine Route: A Wine Buyer's Tour of France "Patterson and Buechsenstein's book presents a detailed compilation of some of the finest writing on terroir, the concept that's at the heart of fine wine. As such, it's a vital distillation of thinking on this important topic, thoughtfully arranged and interestingly presented. It's an important contribution to the wine literature."--Jamie Goode, author of I Taste Red: The Science of Tasting Wine "What a bonus to find a book about the taste of place compiled by two actual winemakers--Buechsenstein, an accomplished professional, and Patterson, a passionate amateur--who made wines from scores of different terroirs in their careers. This scholarly and often witty compilation of viewpoints is the best there is."--Jim Gordon, editor of Wines & Vines
