Signature Seminars

Although the concept of terroir, an untranslatable word, is loosely defined as the combination of climate, soil, terrain, and tradition of a place, perhaps the concept needs a little update. what if the tradition of a place is rooted in huddling with a cup of mate near a warm fire to harden oneself against an even harder landscape such as in Patagonia? Or if the soil is not suited to the traditions of Immigrants who journeyed three thousand miles to Northern California to plant the vines of their forebears?

Join us for ReRooted, an exploration of new and evolved traditions with the wines of Bodega Chacra of Patagonia and Matthiasson of California, as we taste their lovely wines alongside splendid European standards illustrating the beauty of terroir, both traditional and modern.
