In reference to wine, terroir is a look at all the natural conditions that come together to influence the composition of a grape and consequently a wine.  It is the cumulative effect of how the climate, soil, and landscape (to name but a few factors) affect an outcome.  We chose this name not only because we wish for wine to be a prominent feature of our menu and restaurant, but also because we wish for the community, land, and region around us to affect our food and the ambience created within our restaurant.  terroir will reflect not only the fruits of our labors, but also will be the realization and an outgrowth of community efforts.
