Happy July 4th

TERROIR
honors 250 years of American History.
And what have we done over these 250 years:
-created the biggest Riesling planting of any wine-land on the planet…truly
-launched MTV
-beat the French at their own wine game in 1976…
hello Napa Cabernet & California Chardonnay
-invented the incandescent light bulb
so that we could enjoy an Amaro late into the night
-inserted the 100-point system of scoring into the wine rating game…
and now things make sense
-won the gold medal in hockey at the 1980 Winter Olympics
-unleashed phylloxera upon the wine world
and then provided the solution
-surmounted the Wall of the Iron Curtain
and presented the mighty McDonald’s hamburger to humanity
-renamed the wine you are enjoying…
hello lovely Chardonnay, good-bye intimidating Chablis
-crafted a mode of transportation
that gets one across the Atlantic Ocean in 6 hours
-re-created the cult of rosé wine…
I love a very, very chilled White Zinfandel
-turned ARPANET into the most mind-numbing mind occupier
since the release of “Rumble” in 1958
-made Madeira the most prized wine on the planet
And to Honor the Founding Mothers & Fathers, 
we are pouring the:
Declaration of Independence Madeira
Barbeito / Rare Wine Co., NV, Madeira
3oz. glass 
20 Continental Dollars OR 3 beaver pelts OR 4 wampum
We raise a mighty glass to 250 years 
of American History
