2 spinach soufflé: The spinach soufflé industry is growing rapidly as we speak, however this choice is inappropriate.

Talking about worldwide climate change, Moira says "I'm no expert Candy...", which means that she is NOT an expert on the subject of worldwide climate change.
A "century" is a period of a hundred years. Brent says "The temperature has dropped below zero for the first time in a hundred years", which means that "San Francisco is the coldest it has been in a century".
Candy believes that the term "global warming" indicates only an increase in temperature. Although "warming" does mean to heat up, and indicates an increase in temperature, cold weather is also an indication of climate change, which Candy doesn't understand. She asks Brent, "It's freezing in San Francisco and you think it's connected to global warming?"
Brent reports that the "temperature has dropped below zero for the first time in a hundred years". He then asks "Could this be a symptom of global warming?" which indicates that he thinks that the weather is unusual or NOT normal.

Brian and Icarus have just arrived at Eagle's Pate Vineyard. What do we learn about this place in the conversation?
Brian and Icarus have just arrived at Eagle's Pate Vineyard. What do we learn about this place in the conversation?
This is not a true statement. The owner of the vineyard tells Brian and Icarus that "The estate has been in (her) family for five generations". This means that her ancestors owned this vineyard, and not that she bought it recently.
This statement is not true. We learn that "we've been cultivating Zinfandel grapes for over 100 years... you can see the vines all around us". There is no mention of any other variety of grape in the dialogue.
This statement is true. The vineyard's owner tells Brian and Icarus that there is "something of a microclimate here". A "microclimate" is a small area which benefits from unusual weather, unlike that in the surrounding area. Example: San Francisco contains several microclimates, with varying temperatures in each neighborhood. "Something of a problem" means "a sort of problem" or just "a problem".
This is a true statement. The owner of the vineyard says "The estate has been in my family for five generations... and we've been cultivating Zinfandel grapes for over 100 years". This means that the vineyard has existed for more than a century. A "century" is 100 years!
