Cincy's reprint is available. Edited to add: I just checked again and this link to the Washington Post's site for a slightly different version of the article is available for viewing now. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/01/AR2007090101360_pf.html Wed Oct 10 12:39:59 -0700 2007 3022314 10039 Melanie Wong 1 3023100 The radio show I do some work for 'Earthbeat' on WPFW did an entire show about this topic back in June. We couldn't find a French winemaker by deadline, but my favorite part was the Italian winemaker who did the interview from his winery (you can hear the birds in the background). He's moving his vines up the mountain each year, looking for cooler climates. http://www.earthbeatradio.org/2007/06/days_of_wine_and_warming.html Wed Oct 10 16:05:37 -0700 2007 3022129 126847 Feastradio 1 3023174 Can anyone say.... thank god for Fraser Valley (Brittish Columbia) wines... or am I five decades too early?

Last year I attended a panel discussion on global warming at a wine industry conference which included Ingo Grady of Mission Hill in the Okanagan Valley (BC, Canada). He said, "Okanagan Valley is moving into the optimal zone for a surprising number of varieties." However, there is still an issue with unpredictability of climate. They're doing experiments with reverse osmosis methods for reducing alcohol to get ready. Fri Oct 26 12:43:31 -0700 2007 3023174 10039 Melanie Wong 3 3070489 I was being dead serious.
