There is a French term know as Terroir that is used to denote the special characteristics that climate, soil, topography and other natural elements bestow upon things like coffee, tea and of course wine.
It can loosely be translated as meaning “a sense of place,” and is a way of describing the unique aspects of a particular place that influences the taste of the products that come from there.
Unlike the various choppers, blenders and other gadgets featured on those annoying infomercials, every so often a product comes along that is not only innovative and useful but delivers on the pre release hype.
