Luminarias with Mark Matthews, Author of Terroir and Other Myths of Winegrowing 9/15

Raise a glass to literature with Mark Matthews, author ofTerroir and Other Myths of Winegrowing, in the continuation of the Healdsburg Literary Guild’sLuminarias series.

In his controversial book, Mark Matthews applies a scientist’s skepticism to examine widely held beliefs about viticulture. Is terroir primarily a marketing ploy? Does it obscure the understanding of which environments really produce the best wine? Is reducing yield an imperative for high quality grapes and wine? What does it mean to have vines that are balanced or grapes that are physiologically mature? Matthews explores and dissects these and other questions to debunk the myths of winegrowing that may be holding us back from achieving a higher wine quality.

The ticket price includes a glass of wine at the post-reading reception. For questions about ticketing, or inquiries about student pricing, please contact Bo Simons of the Healdsburg Literary Guild at bosimons1234@gmail.com.
