With the help of the wonderful Dr Erica McAlister this episode of Talking of Wine attempts to bring Joe's scientific knowledge of Phylloxera down to Richard's level of understanding. We thought it would be fun to take a really, really niche wine topic and see if we could sell it to the lay people. So, obviously, we talk sex, nightclubs, Center Parcs and red spider mites. Why would you lick a battery and can you grow vines on a volcano? You see, it's not all about nymphs and root stocks. Don't say we don't spoil you dear listener. As usual, with a guest, it is a slightly longer listen but hope you enjoy…

(The explicit warning would be mild but have listed it as such to be safe)
