“TERROIR. I looked it up in The World Atlas of Wine in the manager's office. The definition was people talking around it without identifying it. It seemed a bit far-fetched. That food had character, composed of the soil, the climate, the time of year. That you could taste that character. But still. An idea mystical enough to be highly seductive.” FlavorTerroirUnidentified Book:Sweetbitter Source: Sweetbitter
