SUMMARY:CWW Let's talk about... The science of soil and how it influences our wine\, with Sunny Hodge
DESCRIPTION:The next Let’s talk about… session digs deep into dirt… Circle member Sunny Hodge\, whose book The Cynic’s Guide to Wine has prompted much discussion since its publication earlier this year\, will talk soil science. He’ll discuss how vines interact with soil and the resulting direct influence on wine. \nSunny will cover where this aspect of terroir plays a part in vine development and wine style\, and how farming methods directly influence matters of soil. Key topics will include the processes that allow vines to draw up soil nutrients\, different types of rock and how we articulate ourselves around matters of soil. \nSunny graduated in mechanical engineering with a keen eye for detail\, love of science and hospitality. Finding the ‘why’ behind food and wine has always fascinated him and he is now spearheading research in new ways of looking at wine education based on science and functionality. \nThe Cynic’s Guide to Wine delves into the science behind wine from soil upwards into perception of taste and flavour\, to dispel wine myths and with the aim of changing the way everyone thinks and talks about wine. \nSunny (@sunnyhodgewine) is a commentator\, writer\, International wine judge and a mentor for the Drinklusive drink diversity initiative; he delivers extracurricular tastings and lectures for the WSET. Also\, he is the founder and owner of two award-winning wine bars in London associated with challenging the status quo of wine\, integrating science and education in their service model. \nTo join this Zoom seminar\, please register now or at any time before 5pm BST on November 18th. The session\, including Q&As\, will last for approximately one hour. To register\, follow the link below.
