Terroir Reopens Friday after Three Months; Owner Hopes Nothing's Changed

Dark for three months, Terroir should be its old dark self once again.

​It's true: SOMA wine bar Terroir is reopening Friday. In October a contractor eff-up flooded the building at 1116 Folsom (at Langton). And while owners Dagan Ministero and Luc Erotran had hoped to reopen a few weeks later, well, things got complicated. Ministero spent the enforced sabbatical cataloguing their collection of natural, organic, and biodynamic bottles, staging a wine dinner at Wexler's, and refashioning the list at Chez Spencer. Will it be the same dimly lit, concrete-y Terroir fans might still remember? Ministero hopes so. "We wanted to get it back to what it was," he said. We imagine the soft opening for family and friends last Sunday started the process of breaking Terroir in. Friday's opening is at 5 p.m.
