Just LICK it! no? So, missing out! No judgment This weekend, we’re channeling our inner rock-lickers and tasting wines where minerality steals the show. From chalky limestone to salty slate, and yes, even that iron-rich, iodine yummyniess. These wines are all about the dirt they come from. The secret? Soil pH and acidity team up to make those mineral flavors pop, giving you mouthwatering, thirst-inducing sips that will have you coming back for more. So grab your shovel, bring your curiosity, and get ready to taste the terroir. We’re digging up the whole scoop!
