Climate, soil type, slope of a vineyard, sun exposure, even ground water level can all influence the flavor that a unique terroir can impart to the vines.<\/p>\n<p>Terroir is often overused to describe wine however, because not enough people understand how to distinguish the hand of the wine maker from the characteristics of the vineyard. \u00a0In order to truly taste terroir, the wine almost always has to be a single vineyard designate wine with at most, a small amount of blending grapes. \u00a0If you are buying a large production wine, odds are you are not tasting terroir&#8230;just the winemaker&#8217;s style.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><em>Wine Quiz, June 29th 2013<\/em><\/span><br \/>\n&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p><strong>Question<\/strong><br \/>\nDo you think you know what a Meritage wine is?<\/p>\n<p>A Meritage is a blend of two or more Varietals that is the Californian equivalent of a French Bordeaux blend. Bordeaux is a trademarked name and can\u2019t be used to describe wine from outside of that region so a number of California winemakers got together to create a synonymous term. Only wine makers that have paid their dues and have been approved can use the term Meritage. It can only contain Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec, Petite Verdot or Carmenere with no Varietal making up more than 90% of the blend. A white Meritage can also be produced but is rarely seen.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><em>Survey Question, week of June 16th, 2013<\/em><\/span><br \/>\n&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p><strong>Question<br \/>\n<\/strong>Have you ever spent the night at a Winery (intentionally, not because you passed out under the tasting bar)?<\/p>\n<p>Yes \u2013\u00a0Staying at a Winery Bed and Breakfast or Lodge is great!<br \/>\nNo \u00a0 \u2013\u00a0I&#8217;m more of a &#8220;Drink and Leave&#8221; kind of person.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Results<\/strong><br \/>\nA number of you have indulged in one of the great experiences if you really like wine but it&#8217;s still a significant minority. \u00a0There are hundreds of Wineries that now offer lodging at their facilities. \u00a0If you want to find a few, <a title=\"Winery Report\" href=\"http:\/\/www.winery-sage.com\/ca\/wine_encyclopedia_directory_wineries_database.php\" target=\"_blank\">click here<\/a> and go to our sortable database where you can quickly find just those members who have on site lodging.<\/p>\n<p>Yes \u00a0 \u00a0&#8211; 38%<br \/>\nNo \u00a0 \u00a0 &#8211; 62%<\/p>\n<p>Honorable mention for the following comment:<br \/>\n<em>&#8220;I actually didn&#8217;t know there was such a thing.
