If you are at all technically minded, this is the interview for you.
-- from the graperadio site: "Ted Burns interviews David Schildknecht, Robert White and Greg Jones about the influences of soil and weather on wine grapes. David Schildknecht is a well-respected wine critic and writer for the Wine Advocate and has a special interest in the topic of terroir. Robert White is author of the book, Soils for Fine Wine. Greg Jones is a climatologist and vineyard site selection consultant."

Irrigation practices, chemical makeup of the soil and the influences of weather are all fair game. All the interviewees are notably new world experts and it may have added more balance to the discussion to include European experts in the mixed. I was particularly interested in the comments regarding using irrigation practices to mimic vine stress that occurs in Bordeaux, or the Loire naturally.
