Send a Text Message to The Kosher TerroirYou can watch a winemaker in a vineyard for five minutes and learn the real secret: they don’t spend most of their time looking at the grapes. They look down at the dirt. From Jerusalem, I’m taking you underground to the place where kosher wine is actually made, in the topsoil, subsoil, bedrock, and the living microbiome that turns geology into something you can feel on your tongue. We walk through the vineyard’s layers, then travel across the three rock families. Volcanic igneous soils like the basalt of the Golan Heights. Sedimentary limestone and chalk, like what you find in the Judean Hill, and Metamorphic slate and schist in Spain and Germany.To make it practical, I give you a simple side by side tasting to try on Shabbat so you can learn to taste terroir as texture and structure, not just flavor notes. If this opened your eyes to looking down at the dirt the next time you pour a glass of wine, please subscribe, share with a fellow wine geek, and leave a review so more people can find Kosher Terroir.Support the showwww.TheKosherTerroir.com+972-58-731-1567+[email protected] to Join “The Kosher Terroir” WhatsApp Chathttps://chat.whatsapp.com/EHmgm2u5lQW9VMzhnoM7C9Thursdays 6:30pm Eastern Time on the NSN Network and the NSN App
