The concept of <I>terroir</I> 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. But for every advocate there is a skeptic, and for every writer singing praises related to <I>terroir</I> there is a study or a detractor seeking to debunk <I>terroir</I> as myth. <I>Wine and Place</I> examines <I>terroir</I> 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<I> terroir</I>.
