Wolves, Phylloxera, and Bears, Oh My! with Agricola Foradori

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.
