Terah vs The World
What Happens when the same grape tells completely different stories? This April, we're featuring the wines of Terah Bajjalieh and putting them head to head with same varietals from other producers in the world. Terah is a former SFWS student who runs Terah Wine Co. and is known for sourcing lesser known varietals from iconic, organic & biodyamic vineyards around California and using a hands off production approach to allow their natural beauty to shine through. We've already had some eye opening comparisons - come try them tonight!
