Now, with these cameras, satellite and computer technology, it is suddenly possible for the entire world to see something happening in Jerusalem. While farmers across the Northeast are struggling to save their crops from the worsening drought, the region's grape growers can't get enough of the hot, dry weather. We are not popping out corks in celebration yet. Vintners list many reasons why hot weather is good for grapes.
