The Wine Thread

"Earthy" and "forest floor" are not flavors I think about in wine. Living in the forest and tasting earth occasionally may have an affect on that.

Try a cab franc from the Loire Valley. Hard to believe you've never tasted earth/soil in a wine before. I'd also tell you to try a pinot from North Burgundy, but then again unless you like the smell of sh!t, you won't enjoy them. Sh!t is not an aroma anyone thinks about in wine at first thought.

Gamay from Loire can be full of non-fruit driven flavors too. I like Loire Valley wines and they are well priced
