115 Inventing a New Word: Apisoir

Root Simple Podcast

Wine writer Micheal Alberty was thinking of a way to promote the “terroir” of local honey so, naturally, he coined a new word, “apisoir.” Find out what happened when he tried to get this word into Wikipedia as well as the reasons he thinks we should support local honey. You heard it first on Root Simple! During the podcast Michael mentions:

• Rowan Jacobsen’s book American Terroir: Savoring the Flavors of Our Woods, Waters, and Fields
• “Merroir“
• Bee Local Honey
• Planet Bee

You can reach Michael via his Facebook page and his email is [e-mail]. Apisoir, apisoir, apisoir!
