event pretty much since it ended last year.\u00a0 For those of you who don\u2019t know what this is, here\u2019s a quick rundown.\u00a0 It\u2019s ten events over four days that focus on Livermore Valley\u2019s terroir.\u00a0 What is terroir?\u00a0 I thought the same thing too the first time I saw the word and no, it\u2019s not a dog.\u00a0 In a nutshell, it\u2019s the characteristic taste and flavor imparted to a wine by the environment in which it is produced.\u00a0 Check out this quick video for how to pronounce it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-section\">\n<div

there\u2019s the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lvwine.org\/event-lineup\/2248\/19\/Taste_Our_Terroir\/The_Quest_for_Pairing_Excellence\">Annual Quest for Food and Wine Pairing Excellence<\/a> on Thursday night.\u00a0 This year there are 18 restaurant and winery teams that will make fabulous food.\u00a0 I love this as a chance to try a sample from a new restaurant or see how creative some of my regular favorites are.\u00a0 Check out some pairings from previous years and try not to drool too much on the keyboard.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin:
