In the fourth tape of the Jancis Robinson's Wine Course, Robinson tries to establish whether a wine can truly express a terroir, the taste and feeling of a particular location. This is done by traveling to Burgundy and to Napa Valley, where she explores the Pinot Noir and the Merlot grape varieties. Americans may be particularly amused by this tape, as Robinson extols the health benefits of wine, pooh-poohing the Surgeon General's warning and expressing disbelief at the (what she says are) exaggerated health warnings on the labels. She paints a rather staunch picture of the U.S., which should prove fun to most American viewers. Also discussed on this edition are organic wine growing and phylloxera, a tiny louse that destroyed many of California's fields. --Jenny Brown

Jancis Robinson, editor of the award-winning best-seller The Oxford Companion to Wine, is also wine columnist of The Financial Times and the Wine Spectator. She brings great humor and the expertise of a Master of Wine to one of life's most delicious subjects. Jancis Robinson's Wine Course introduces you to wine by focusing on the grape varieties which shape its flavor. This beautifully filmed tour of the world of wine brings labels and liquids alive.

In this program, consider whether wine expresses a particular spot on the globe, what the French call terroir, or the ambitions and capabilities of the people who made it. Then visit the Napa Valley, where paradise on earth is under threat, as a result of a tiny louse.
Highlights include:
- Wine and health - how wine can do you good
- The king, queen and pope of Vosne-Romanee Domaine de-la Romanee-Conti, Lalou Bize-Leroy and Henri Jayer in the heart of Burgundy.

- Organic wine - hocus pocus or the future of the planet?
- Phylloxera - the louse that's eating California's vineyards.
