Post #257,335 by Andrew Grygus 5/31/06 8:19:29 PM Reply	Oui, but the soil, mon cheri, the soil . . . . . she is California, not France! Actually, pure European vines were grown in California long after French vines were all grafted to American rootstock. I don't know if any plantings here are still pure French though. But anyway, the French have always told us we cannot duplicate their wines because we do not have their soil. Apparently duplication is not required. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]
