Moses,

If by "terroir" you mean filthy wineries, then sure, its "terroir". A good friend of mine visited Pegau and was disgusted when he walked into the cellar/winery, mold, crap all over the walls and barrels. That was the last time he even contemplated buying a bottle.

We're back to the discussion we had before. If I pour bretty wine for you , will you be able to tell me the varietal? The answers, both short and long, are No and No Way in Hell. How's that "terroir" when brett in France manifests itself exactly same way brett in Mongolia does?

And how do you control how "little" brett there is? Inquiring minds want to know. You sound like you are a Parker faithful... Repeating same old Parker myths in same exact ways and sentences.

Wine and beer brett cultivars are different animals/strains. Main reason brett in beer works and brett in wine doesn't.
