Some brief thoughts from Winemaker Theo Zierock of Agricola Foradori in the vineyards of Italy.

• In Europe, "We've killed everything that can kill us," but bears and wolves are returning.
• Thoughts on Vitis Vinifera (the wine grape) and how it is grown around the world.
• Demonstration of Marcottage : how to handle dead vines and create new ones without buying new grapevines.
