Soil Stories: How Soil Impacts Wine
Presenters: Charlotte Oliver and Kat Reeves

Soil is more than just what anchors grapevines into the ground. It is the medium to provide nutrients and water, a living organism that works with the vine, and a source of antagonistic chemistry all leading to a stress you can taste. This session will describe the interplay between grapevines, soil, and taste and how the variety of soils in Colorado's grape regions creates a unique terroir. It will also include a sommelier-led wine tasting.

Each session features thought-provoking presentations, complimentary refreshments, one beer/wine drink ticket, and opportunities to connect through Q&A and mingling. Members receive a 10% discount on session tickets.
