Thank you for always giving objective insight on the topics you cast. The casts are always informative and I enjoy them thoroughly. I am studying for my CMS certification, and your casts are always helpful in putting these complex topics into a language I can understand. Thanks - and keep those casts coming!
Here in New England, the "Arctic" clone of Riesling, from Konstantin Frank Vineyards, is a notable variation that allows us to produce a small amount of Riesling in good years.
Two Questions: 1. How can one possibly expect to remain "Unknown" while making such delightful and understandable video productions? 2. Are clones such as the Wente grafted onto a different rootstock at some point, and is this rootstock typically perpetuated by cloning as well?
Two Answers: 1. I think it never hurts to project a little air of mystery about oneself, and thank you for the kind words. :^) 2. Yes, any vinifera planted anywhere where there's phylloxera will need to be grafted. So, if you found a vine, for example, among your plantings that you wanted to select for propagation and you were in a phylloxera zone, you would need to take a cutting of that vine and graft it to a cutting of a root-stock variety. Once the graft union has healed and fused together, you'd plant the cutting with the root-stock variety side down (i.e., in the soil) and the vinifera side up, and the root-stock side will form a root system that is pylloxera resistance while the vinifera side will grow into a vine. If you just took a cutting from the vinifera part of the vine you wanted to propagate and planted it without grafting, it would still grow, but it wouldn't be pylloxera resistant. Great question. Cheers!
Thank you so much Unknown Winecast. I learned so much with your contents. I’m preparing for my WSET Level 3. Your explanation is well structured therefore approchable to understand. Can you make videos about “Vine anatomy”? or maybe about “Cutting and layering”?. Il will be helpful for many people including me.
I wish I had known this for a long time ago... haha... Now I feel I understand this much better. Thanks for the content.

Excellent cast. Thank you
Great explanation of "clones"...thanks! I will forward to your next Winecast!
Thanks! I always especially appreciate it when people find the science and tech casts helpful. They're labors of love. Cheers!

The correct term, shouldn't be MUTATION?
