This week on The Wine CEO Podcast we dive into the topic of terroir and the question: "Does a particular region or soil type actually impact the flavor of a finished wine?" If you taste a pinot noir from California and one from Burgundy, can you actually taste a difference? This episode is short but sweet because honestly, I had the stomach flu this week. BUT it's an interesting topic nonetheless and a topic I get asked about often! Enjoy and next week we will continue our focus on The Pacific Northwest wine regions.

Recommendations for side by side regional comparisons:
Sauvignon Blanc: Try comparing a Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand, California, and France
Syrah: Try comparing a Syrah from France and a Shiraz from Australia
Pinot Noir: Try comparing a Pinot Noir from Oregon and Burgundy
Zinfandel: Try comparing a Zinfandel from California and a Primitivo from Italy (primitivo is the Italian word for Zinfandel)
Pinot Grigio: Try comparing a Pinot Grigio from Italy and a Pinot Gris from France or California (Pinot Grigio is the same as Pinot Gris - just different translations!)
Riesling: Try a Riesling from Washington State and one from Germany
Don't forget to tell me what you thought of the comparisons! Could you taste a difference in the wines? Let me know on Social Media (@thewineceo) or send me an email (sarah@thewineceo.com)!
