We aim to entertain\, educate\, e lucidate\, enlighten\, and other things that start with “e.” Be there an d be square. \;\n \;\nter·roir/tɛrˈwɑr \;\nnoun \;\nDefini tion: the environmental conditions\, especially soil and climate\, in wh ich grapes are grown and that give a wine its unique flavor and aroma. & #13\;\n \;\nThe Willamette Valley has a certain je ne sais quoi\, no? What special quality of the region’s terroir yields such exceptional wi nes? How do the soil\, climate\, and conditions lend themselves to lovel y Pinot Noirs\, but not Cabernets or Merlots? How does the region’s geol ogic past affect where and how to grow grapes? How does Oregon compare t o other wine-growing regions in the United States and other countries ar ound the world? Join us as Dr. Scott Burns\, professor of geology and pa st chair of the Department of Geology at PSU\, and wine enthusiast\, tel ls us about all this and more about what makes a vineyard successful. 3\;\n \;\n \;\n*A note on the suggested cover: Nerd Nite is comple tely supported by money collected at the door. We are committed to offer ing education opportunities to adults who want to learn\, so if $8 is a hardship for you\, please come anyway and donate what you can. \n\nTags: beer\, lecture\, science\, education\, intellectual discussion\, geek\, nerd\, entertainment\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250 465735 URL:http://www.viaproductions.org SUMMARY:Nerd Nite Portland #13 – The Mystique of Terroir…Geology and Wine LOCATION:McMenamins Mission Theater & Pub: 1624 Nw Glisan St\, Portland O regon 97209 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
