Terroir: Has its meaning changed over the years?

You are doing fine, Bob. Two excellent writers writing with knowledge and fervor. What more can you ask?

Well done!

Thanks Bob, but as usual you have shown us some very interesting insights! We may not all agree with what is written in black and white, but there are a whole bunch of facts out there and as wine enthusiasts/historians it is surely up to us discuss/agree/disagree. No need for any fistycuffs on this forum!
I having a free day tomorrow so will do some more vinious scouting!
