An article showed up in the Denver Post last week alluding to problems being experienced near Monterey with a new strain of phylloxera, the pest that destroyed the European wine industry a hundred years ago. Apparently this new strain thrives on the American "phylloxera-resistent" root stock, and is already causing several vineyards to be replanted. Does anyone know how widespread this problem is, or whether we should start seriously worrying about a mass grape kill in California in the next decade? -- dave bauer (303)538-4482 AT&T Information Systems Laboratories, Denver ihnp4!druxv!dlb 11900 N.
