[ngolosaguda]

I like to watch your videos you explain deeply and nice. thank you so much Jimmy.

[zitmallik]

Well explained ❤.Thank you very much 🥂

[travellingstranger]

why are the vines grown following the slope rather than on terraces that hug the slopes in a step like manner. This might extend premier crue zones (based on water retention) and protect soil from erosion. Could also allow for meccanised harvest (maybe). Is it just that there is an adversioon to change or there is no particular reason why terracing could not be implemented? Costs perhaps?

[eviedouraki]

ok, I have a question. is there anyway we could perhaps be picky and choose what we buy from your e-learning portal?

[nicolasbisetti]

Thank you very much, excellent explanation

[KuroAkatsuki]

Do you reckon the Western Winds coming from the Gulf could net you a mark as weather hazards ? You mentioned frosts, rainfall and hailstorms at 30:00

[Thesweetestkitty]

Thank you, super helpful to help tie it all together. Would you be willing to explain how a wine label can state, echezeau, Vosne Romanee, Domain De La Romanee Conti all in one... is it from Echezeau or Romanee....
I doubt that makes any sense, hope it does.
Also, any chance you would share the other two lessons in this session 🤞. Thank you!!!

[alessandrolindiri]

Hi Jimmy, is Pinot susceptible to rot because of its thin skin so when it rains the berries split easily?

[harrydeol]

hi sir, when we talk about south east facing slopes. Does it mean the location of slopes is In the West and facing South east? ...
