	Jefferson's Monticello: The Vineyards
		Many native grapes were more effectively grown, yet the poor quality of the resultant wine impeded progress in the development of an established industry.
		The history of grape culture at Monticello suggests Jefferson's unrelenting oscillation between a desire to grow the difficult yet rewarding vinifera, and the possibilities of well-adapted New World alternatives -- the fox grape, Vitis labrusca, and the Scuppernong variety of the southern muscadine, Vitis rotundifolia.
		The Southwest Vineyard was replanted in 1993 entirely with the Sangiovese grape, a variety documented by Jefferson in 1807 and the principal ingredient of Chianti.

		Ranking No. 21 on the American Film Institute's list of the 100 greatest American films, this 1940 classic is a bit dated in its noble sentimentality, but it remains a luminous example of Hollywood classicism from the peerless director of mythic Americana, John Ford.
		"The Grapes of Wrath" is, in many ways, still the greatest American film in the sense that the film is about America, at a certain time and captures the feeling of The Great Depression better than most any other movie.
		"The Grapes of Wrath" has astonishingly not dated over the years; it's still as fresh and entertaining as I imagine it was upon its release.
