That is the bad news. The good news is that the crisis will force growers to replace their diseased vines with new, better quality grapes that can flourish in the region's wide range of microclimates, which feature coastal fog as well as baking heat. Some unprofitable and marginally successful varietals will probably disappear, at least in Napa and Sonoma. But vintners insist that they will soon be able to produce more of the premier wines consumers want -- notably Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon...

On the budget: "The chief financial officer of a publicly owned corporation would be sent to prison if he kept books like our government."
